Daily attendance is a key factor in student success. We ask that families make every effort to schedule appointments, non-school activities, and travel after school hours, on weekends, or during school vacation periods.
How to Report an Absence, Tardy, or Early Dismissal:
Important Policy Update: We no longer accept phone calls for attendance reporting. All notifications must be submitted digitally prior to 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence or schedule change.
Please submit all attendance requests via one of the following methods:
- PowerSchool Parent Portal: Log in to your parent account to submit attendance notes directly. This must be done in the web version of PowerSchool. The PowerSchool app does not support this function. Click here to access the parent portal.
- Email: Send your notice to whsattendance@waterfordschools.org.
When submitting, please include:
- Student's full name and grade
- Reason for the absence, tardy, or dismissal
- Expected arrival or dismissal time (if applicable)
