Students who arrive late to school must report directly to the main office to sign in. Students are expected to be in class to begin work when the bell tone sounds at 7:25 a.m.
Attendance
You can report your student's All-day absence via the browser or app version of ParentVUE for students in grades 6-12.
Instructions for Reporting Absences in ParentVUE
If you need to call to report an absence, call (248) 726-4710.
This is a 24-hour answering machine. The following information must be left on the answering machine.
- Student's first and last name (spelled out)
- Parent name, if different from student's last name
- Day and date of absence
- Reason for absence
If your student is arriving late, needs an early dismissal, or you are requesting homework, you should call the regular school number at (248) 726-4700.
All absence calls are for one day only unless you specify otherwise. We suggest that you call as early as possible. Many telephone calls come in between 7:00 and 7:45 a.m.
We do not accept calls or notes from students. Students who are "excused absent" should see each teacher upon returning to receive missed assignments. It is the student's responsibility make up the work.
