Student Excused Absences Procedure -Update


When a student is ill, or away for an excused reason, a parent/guardian must email the school at byngabsences@vsb.bc.ca  Cutoff for each day is 2pm. If we receive your email after 2pm we will record your child’s absence the next day. 

To avoid confusion due to the block flip, when reporting a partial day absence please report for what period of time your child will be away instead of which period they will be missing.  

Please state your child’s:  

Full Name (first and last name) 

Student Number 

Grade 

Date(s) of Absence 

Reason of Absence 

Duration of Absence: please indicate if this is a full day absence or for what period of time your child will be away 

Copy to teachers so they are aware – email addresses located on school website
