Excusing an Absence on Skyward

We love you and want to see you at school!

School attendance has long term benefits. Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school, or about 18 days in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month and that’s known as chronic absence. In case of illness or other incident where you may need to miss school:

To excuse a student on the app:

When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse. With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.

1. Message Tab
Attendance Notification
View
Add Absent Request
OR
2. Attendance
Add Absent Request

Either of these two options will open a pop-up.
Complete the following information:
Student
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2^nd hour”)
If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
Submit

To submit a request from the website:

Tooeleschools.org
Click on the Families tab across the top
Click on Skyward for Parents
Log in
On the top right click student (if you only have one student you will just see your student’s name)
In the drop-down menu select the student’s name you need to excuse
Select Attendance in the menu on the left hand side
Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page “Absence Request.”
An “Add Request” pop-up block will open
Complete the following blocks:
Date/Time
Reason
Comment (optional, but once again, very helpful)
Save
Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.
After the request has been processed, parents will receive a notification in Skyward
“(Student’s name) Absence Request has been (approved or denied)
The Absence Request submitted for (student) on (date) has been (approved or denied).
If a request is denied, a reason must be provided. It will then say “Go to your Absence Requests for further information.”

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Directions

Please remember to follow the drop off & pick up procedures to keep all students safe. Buses only allowed in the bus lane on the north end. Cars, please use the pick up lane in the front (West side) of the building. Follow all traffic laws and directions from crossing guards. Always pull as far forward as possible to help traffic flow & do not park in the pick-up lane during dismissal. When crossing the street and drop-off lane, please use the crosswalks. Be the good example to our students. *Special parking spots have been reserved in the front parking lot for preschool & kindergarten parents.

Thank you.

Here is a picture map of drop off for Sterling Elementary. There is also an animation file in the story section and video. Thanks for helping us keep our students safe during pickup/drop off. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
