Attendance
Attendance will be taken for every class period
A student will be marked UNV (unverified) if he or she is not present in homeroom. If an excuse is turned in within three days, the UNV will change to EXC (excused). If no excuse is turned in, UNV will change to ILX (illegal).
A student will be marked NIC (not in class) if they are not present in their 1st-8th period classes.
Excuses can be sent to the homeroom teacher
During virtual learning, an emailed excuse should be sent to your child's homeroom teacher (Staff Directory) and copied to Mrs. Harris, jharris@mtlsd.net, the attendance secretary
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act and the Pennsylvania School Code, Mt. Lebanon School District is responsible for enforcing the compulsory school attendance law

Pre-Approved Absence Form
Students are permitted up to take up to five days of pre-approved absence during the school year for trips with educational value. If taking a trip, we ask that you complete a pre-approved absence form and submit it to the attendance office five days prior to your child's absence. During remote instruction, please complete this Google pre-approved form in lieu of the paper form available on the website.
