Reporting Absences and Tardiness
- If your child will be absent or late due to an appointment, please notify the school by calling 719-234-4800. You may call anytime and leave a voicemail or send an email to mves-attendance@asd20.org.
- If your student will be late and needs to order a school lunch, call the office with the student’s name, teacher’s name, and lunch choice before 9:30 a.m., when the lunch count is submitted.
- If the office is not notified of an absence, a phone call will be made to the parent(s) to inquire about the reason. If parents do not return the call, the absence remains unexcused in the District’s system, and an automated call will be made to the parent or guardian.
Vacations and Pre-Arranged Absences
If you are planning a vacation or trip, please notify the attendance clerk in the front office. Vacations are not excused absences and will be marked as pre-arranged, unexcused absences.
