STUDENT ABSENCES When a student is absent, the parent/guardian may report the absence to the school by e-mailing MWMSabsence@hcpss.org. The message should include the student’s first and last name, grade, date of absence and reason for the absence. Upon receipt of the email, the attendance record in Synergy will be updated to reflect the excused absence. The parent can also send a handwritten note, or doctors note with the student upon returning to school and the record in Synergy will be updated to excused absence. This note should be turned into the front office. If a student is out more than two consecutive days a doctor's note should be sent in upon returning to school.
Please note, many teachers post assignments online (Canvas) so students can often view and access class work or homework even when they are not on campus.
