PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE SUBMITTING THIS FORM:
T.H. Bell Jr High School Parents/Guardians may use this form to excuse or pre-arrange an absence (less than six consecutive days) for their student. A pre-arranged absence is notice given at least one (1) day in advance. An absence must be verified within five (5) days following the absence. The five (5) school day limit does not extend beyond the end of each term. ALL requests for an absence to be excused must be made by the last day of the term. A valid excuse must be provided, in accordance with district policy to excuse an absence.
Please be sure all the information entered on this form matches the information for the student in PowerSchool. If an Absence Request Form is submitted by a student or an email other than a verified email in PowerSchool, the absence will not be excused and the absence must be excused by contacting the THB Attendance Office at 801-452-4603.
If a parent/guardian is excusing an absence for more than one student, please submit a separate form for each student. There is no need to call the school after filling out this form. Attendance will follow up with you to confirm the absence verification request only if there are verification issues.
Please allow until the next school day for any absence verification to be entered into PowerSchool.
