Absences shall be reported to the student’s school by the parent no later than three (3)
days from the date of the absence. To report an absence, parents may do so electronically by emailing a statement of the cause for such absence directly to the school’s attendance email address. The email should include the Student’s Full Name, Identification Number, Date of Absence, and the Reason for the absence.
To facilitate electronic submissions of admits, the district has developed a resource mailbox address specific to each school attendance office. The attendance email address will follow the generic email address format 8151attendance@dadeschools.net
In addition, a link is available via the Parent Portal and Parent Mobile APP for parents to access a dropdown menu with schools’ resource mailbox directory.
Parents who wish to submit documentation for an excused absence to the school’s attendance office in person may do so within three (3) days from the date of the absence. Failure to report and explain absence(s) shall result in unexcused absence(s).
The principal of the student’s home/enrolled school shall have the final authority for determining acceptability of the reason for the absence(s).
