Attendance Policy

High School Attendance Policy

All student absences must be explained in writing by the parent or guardian in advance, or at the time the student returns to school. A direct phone call to our attendance line at 715-424-6765 from the parent on the morning of an unplanned absence specifically explaining the reason for the absence will also be acceptable. 

When calling please be sure to indicate your name, the student name, and the reason for the absence.  

Make up tests must be arranged with the teacher. Students with excused absences are to have all homework made up the day after their return. If no excuse is received by the office, an unexcused absence will be recorded, and parents will be notified either by phone or by mail.

If you need further assistance, please contact the high school office at 715-424-6750 between 7:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.

You can now enter attendance into Family Access

When you are logged in to Family Access, choose the student you are entering the absence for and the school they attend. At this time you will only be able to enter absence notifications for Lincoln High School students. In the future, the application may be opened to other schools as well.

Next, select Attendance from the left menu bar.  Select Absence Notifications.  Complete the information to include date, time, and absence reasons. You may add additional comments if you wish. If the student will be absent all day you do not need to enter the times. You will only need to enter data here if the student will only be gone for part of the day. Once the information is entered, hit the Save button on the right of the screen. The absence will now be in a pending status until it is reviewed by school office personnel.  If the absence is not excused, a member of the school office will contact you.

The process is the same if you are in the New Family Access version but the screens will look a little different. You can enter an absence in either version of Family Access. Be sure to check back into Family Access to see any notes that may have been sent back you by school personnel regarding the absence.
