PARENTVUE: 4 Simple Steps

We have a new, easy way for families to let our school know when their student is absent! While we know regular attendance is one of the most powerful ways to prepare your student for success, we also know that sometimes students must miss school for a variety of reasons. Next time that happens for your family, let us know through ParentVUE:

Login to ParentVUE
Click the “Report Absence” button next to the name of your absent student
Fill in the fields with the date(s) of the absence and provide an explanation
Click to submit, automatically notifying the school of the absence

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.
