When your student is absent, parents need to submit an Absent Note for our records. 

What needs to be included in an Absent Note: 

• Child's first and last name 

• Date(s) the child was absent 

• Reason why the child was absent 

• Parent Signature 

Options to submit absences

1. Skyward - AllenISD.org/Skyward - Submit absence online through the Skyward website or mobile app. (Doctor's notes are not able to be sent in Skyward, please submit those to the front office.)

2. Email - Email the school registrar with a scanned in/picture of a handwritten excuse note or doctor's note. View campus contact information.

3. Phone - Call the front office at the school to report the absence. When a student returns please send an Absent Note or submit via Skyward. View campus contact information.

4. Note - The student may bring a note from home within three days of their return to school. If not turned in within the three-day window, absences will be counted as unexcused. 

Important Reminders

• Absences due to travel are not excused absences. They are counted as unexcused absences 

• If a student is absent for illness for more than five consecutive days, a doctor's note must be provided in order for the days to be excused. 

• When students come in late to school or checkout early due to a dentist or doctor appointment, please turn in the doctor's note to excuse the partial day absence.

• Submitted Absence Notes are not automatically excused. They will be reviewed and then approved on a case-by-case basis.
