• Send a note via your student stating they remained at home the previous day(s) due to illness, funeral of immediate family member, religious holiday, etc.
• Send a doctor’s statement, legal document, etc. via your student so they can turn it in to the PHS or PFC attendance office. Send an email via Parent Square.
• Send scanned/screenshot statements and/or emails to one of the following:
  • Ms. Higgins, PFC Attendance Secretary
    • PFC Multiple Absence Reporting Form
  • Mrs. Sprowl, PHS Attendance Secretary
