Did you know as a parent you can also enter notes and approvals in advance, if you know your child is going to be absent from school.
To do this from their Home page, you can click on the 'Add Attendance Note/Approval' link listed underneath the name of the relevant student.
This will take you to the Attendance screen, with a pop-up window to enter details of the note or approval. Parents can then select the applicable date range - in the future if required.
