Reporting A Student Absence
Student Excused Absences Procedure:
When a student is ill, or away for an excused reason, a parent/guardian must email the school at byngabsences@vsb.bc.ca Cutoff for each day is 2:30pm.
If we receive your email after 2:30pm we will record your child’s absence the next day.
To avoid confusion due to the block flip, when reporting a partial day absence please report for what period of time your child will be away instead of which period they will be missing.
Please state your child’s:
Full Name (first and last name) |
Student Number |
Grade |
Date(s) of Absence |
Reason of Absence |
Duration of Absence: please indicate if this is a full day absence or for what period of time your child will be away. To avoid confusion when reporting a partial day absence, please report the time your child will be away instead of which period they are missing |
