Report an Absence

Students are expected to attend all assigned classes each day. It is important that you call the office whenever your student will be absent from school.

Call 425-408-6410

Please Note: In accordance with King and Snohomish County Public Health, if your student has any symptoms related to covid lasting longer than 24-hours including cold symptoms, fever or chills, cough, body aches, headache, new loss of smell or taste, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea, we will need proof of a negative COVID test before returning to school.

For questions or clarification, please contact the KMS nurse, Manuele Mayer (425) 408-6406.

Late Arrivals

Students must sign in at the main office. All late arrivals need to be excused. We want your student to be successful at KMS and arriving on time is the first step. Tardies over 15 minutes late are considered an absence.

Full Day Absences

WA State law requires that all absences from school be excused within 48 hours. If you have not excused your child’s absence by the end of the day, you will receive a District robocall. If your student’s absence is unexcused after 24 hours, I will provide your student with an Attendance Verification Form. At this point, it becomes your student’s responsibility to clear their absence.
