Reporting an Absence:

1. Reply to an Edia AI text message. If you have previously received a message from Edia AI, simply reply to the text with the reason for your student's absence. This is the preferred and fastest way to communicate attendance information. The attendance office will receive your message and update your student's attendance record.
2. If you have not previously received an Edia AI message or are unable to use Edia, email the school with your student's name, the date(s) of the absence, and the reason for the absence. slcse.attendance@slcschools.org
3. If email is not accessible, call the school and leave a voicemail with your student's name, the date(s) of the absence, and the reason for the absence. (801)578-8226 ext. 1

Please report absences as soon as possible to help ensure attendance records are updated accurately and efficiently

Please keep the following in mind:

• Parents and guardians have one week from the date of an absence to notify the school and provide the reason for the absence. After one week, the absence can no longer be excused and will be recorded as a truancy.
• If you believe your student was marked absent in error, please contact the teacher directly.
• The Attendance Office cannot change an absence to present without written confirmation from the teacher.
• Requests received after 2:30 p.m. may be processed the following school day. We appreciate your patience.
• Email cannot be used to check a student out of school.
• Students are expected to attend all classes each day. If a student needs to leave during the school day, only a parent or guardian may check them out through the Attendance Office.
• Students who leave without being properly checked out may be considered truant.

Thank you for partnering with us to support your student's attendance and success. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the Office. We are here to help.
