When a student is absent from school, it is the Philadelphia School District Policy to send in an absence note for each day of the absence.

You must include:

Student first and last name

Date of absence

Reason for absence and

A parent/guardian signature

We now have a digital version of an absence note available in a Google form. You can submit this absence note the day the student returns to school.
