Absence Reporting

How to Report a Student Absence:

You have a few options on how to report and/or excuse absences when your child will be absent.

  1. The office will send a notification of the absence that morning via ParentSquare.  If you reply to the notification, this acts as a note and the absence will be excused (for absences 1-9; absences 10+ will need a note from a medical professional to be excused) or
  2. Sign into PowerSchool and fill out the Parent Guardian absence note (this note will excuse the absence for absences 1-9,  absences 10+ will need a note from a medical professional to be excused) or 
  3. Call the school office (203-294-3700) to report the absence (this will just inform the office, a signed note from home or a Parent Square or PowerSchool note is needed to excuse for absences 1-9,  absences 10+ will need a note from a medical professional to excuse ) or
  4. Email the attendance clerk at rrutkowski@wallingfordschools.org to report the absence (this will just inform the office, a signed note from home or a Parent Square or PowerSchool note is needed to excuse for absences 1-9,  absences 10+ will need a note from a medical professional to excuse) or
  5. If you know of an upcoming absence (i.e. for a medical appointment) you can send in a note ahead of time that will inform the office and excuse the absence.
  6. If you have any questions please refer to the districts attendance policy 5113, regulation 5113a: BOE Policies
