Good Evening,
Just an update about several procedures at Grattan.
REPORTING AN ABSENCE; As you were notified over the summer, there is now 2 ways to report an absence at Grattan. You can do one OR the other, but it is helpful not to submit both. If you chose to use the Grattan Reporting Form, please bookmark the link below. This report can be use to report a full day absence or to let the office know your student will be arriving late due to an appointment.
The new way is via ParentVue. This is to be used ONLY for a full day absence.
- From your ParentVUE Home Screen select “Report Absence”
- Next select the day(s) for which the student will be absent
- In the “select a reason” field click on: Absent-Excused *Required
- In the “Note” field describe the reason for student absence *Required
***Only use this to submit a FULL day absence. If you need to report tardy or partial day absence contact your school directly.
- Click “Ok” to confirm your entry
Either method you use, they need to be submitted by 9:00am each day your student(s) is absent to avoid the District Robo call/email. Also, please be aware that "Traveling/Family Event is not considered an excused absence and you will receive a call/email.
ONLINE EMERGENCY CARDS: Each year you are required to submit a new emergency card. Starting November 1st, we will checking to see if we have one for every student.
This is very important information both for the office and teachers. This can be done in ParentVue. You will need to have an account. If you or anyone in your family doesn't already have an account and need assistance, please contact me in the office. Please be aware that each student needs to have a separate card. Click on the "Orange" button for online forms, then chose "Emergency Card".
LOST & FOUND is overflowing. Don't forget to put names (first & last, is helpful) on all clothes, lunch boxes, instruments and water bottles.
Thank you for all your assistance and I hope the school year is going smoothly.
