Email tmplsafearrival@vsb.bc.ca with the following info to have your child’s absence excused (whether for a timeframe known in advance or after the student has returned to school):
-First and last name of student 
-Grade
-Dates missed 
-Periods missed
-Reason for absence(s)

Students no longer need to submit a paper note to the Main Office to report absences.

The email absence report will only be considered valid and therefore, processed, if it is received from a parent/guardian email on file.

The attendance record in MyEd will be adjusted to indicate that the home has excused the absence.  Students/Parents/Guardians are encouraged to contact their teachers directly in order to ensure students have the necessary work to not fall behind with their progress.
