Sand Ridge parents/guardians may use this form to excuse an absence for their student, or a range of absences that does not exceed 6 consecutive school days. 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. Prior to submitting, please review the following information:
- 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 section V.C.2 to excuse an absence.
Please provide the correct contact information:
- Be sure to enter contact information that matches your student's information 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 will instead need to be excused by contacting Sand Ridge's Attendance Office at 801-476-5323, or in person at the main office attendance window.
