Reporting Student Absences Procedure

Students no longer need to submit paper notes to their teachers or the main office to report absences.

If a student will be away, families are asked to email kitsswitchboard@vsb.bc.ca to report the absence. The following information must be included in the email:

• First and Last Name of Student
• Grade
• Student Number
• Duration of Absence

The email absence report will only be considered valid and therefore, processed, if it is received from a parent/guardian email on file.

Students/Parents/Guardians are also being asked to contact the teacher directly in order to ensure students have the necessary work and do not fall behind in their progress.
