Attendance

We want to encourage and support your student/s in attending and participating in class each day.

Here are important things to remember regarding Attendance/Early pick-ups-

1. In order to maximize safety and streamline communication, we are working as a school to make attendance an office-facing process.

2. Please follow the steps outlined below to report an absence (you are always welcome to cc the teacher in Parent Square as well). If the office is not contacted, the absence will remain unexcused in Skyward until we confer.

By notifying the office by 9 am, we can happily coordinate a practical pick-up time to minimize class disruption and get you to your appointments on time

Report your attendance (in order of priority – do not use all)

• Skyward is the preferred method of reporting attendance (including late arrival/early pick up)
• OR call the attendance hotline:  425-936-2671

Your student will be marked as “UNEXCUSED” when Gowri does not receive this information:  

1. First and last name of student and Teacher 

2. Reason for absence including late arrival/early dismissal (fever, vomit, dr appt, etc.)

You will be asked to wait until the end of recess/lunch before your student is dismissed  

Please refer to our Daily Schedule for timing sent through ParentSquare weekly newsletter.

If your student is going to be absent for 5 or more days, please fill out the “Pre-Arranged Absence From” prior to the start of the absence date. Form is available on the District Website, on the school website, send a request for electronic version or hard copy is available in the school office.
