Report Absence

You can report your child’s absence by sending an email by 9:30 AM using the following address: WWEAttendance@carrollk12.org  

 Please use the WWEAttendance@carrollk12.org email to report any absences, late arrivals, early dismissals or changes in dismissal. Changes in dismissal should be sent, in writing, prior to 2:30 PM in order for office staff to notify teachers and students.  

Teachers will provide any missed work to students upon their return to school.

Families are required to notify the principal for approval of any extended, planned student absences from school. Teachers may provide some information and materials as make-up for your child upon return to the classroom and a timeline for completion. Teachers are not required to provide work in advance of the absence nor assignments to be completed during the absence. Please consider these conditions carefully as you may plan any extended absences.
