Attendance Procedures
CallBack Line: 604-903-3314
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When reporting Absences to the CallBack Line:
(you may report an absence anytime that day up to 3:00pm or in advance for a future date if you know ahead of time)
Students are not to call in their own absence; only messages from parents and legal guardians are accepted.

Format when reporting an absence:

First Name
Last Name (spell)
Date of absence (whole day or state the portion of the day)
Explanation for absence (“excused”, “ill”, “appointment”, “vacation”). It is critical that student absence explanations are spectific to insure accurate reporting to the School District and Public Health Unit.
* It is not necessary to provide your telephone number, as it is in our system already. (Note it is not necessary to repeat the information).

Examples of what NOT to say:

“Hopefully will be in…”, “might be away…”, “maybe there...maybe not…”,

What to do if you receive a phone call:

The automated call system refers to "Periods of the Day" (1 thru 4) so you must look at your student’s timetable to determine which missed class the call is for.
If your child says they were in class, they must speak with the teacher who marked them away. Please note: only that teacher can verify and change the attendance.
If a student is leaving the school for any reason a note must be provided and they must sign in and/or out at the office that day. Please provide a note for your child if they are leaving the school.

Only call the Callback Line (604-903-3314) if you are excusing a student.
Thank you for your cooperation!
