Reporting Student Absences

The parent/caregiver is responsible for ensuring their child gets to school daily. 

If a student will remain at home, the parent/ guardian/caregiver must communicate with the school in one of the following ways before or on the day of the absence:

• Submit an absence notification via Parent Vue 

• Email our front dest clerk  Carmi Kuivenhoven at kuivenhovenc@sfusd.edu

• Written note

• Phone call  415.750.8446  x1105

In all communications with the school regarding a student's absence please provide the following:

• Your name and identify yourself as the parent/guardian/caregiver of the student

• Student’s name

• Date(s) of the absence(s)

• Reason for the absence

• Signature of a parent/caregiver and current date  (if a written note)

*We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to review their student's attendance record regularly and communicate any discrepancies to the school.
