Attendance excuse documentation will now be submitted through a Google Form instead of email.

• To request an excused absence, please complete the Absence Excuse Form.
• Your student’s attendance will be updated within 3 school days.
• Paper copies will still be accepted in the attendance office.

To reinforce safe checkout protocols, only student drivers may be checked out via email using ngattendance@cowetaschools.net.

• Student Drivers: Parents/guardians may email ngattendance@cowetaschools.net to request a checkout for a student who is an approved student driver.
• Non-Drivers: Parents/guardians must come into the Attendance Office to check out students who are not student drivers. A government-issued ID is required, and the person must be listed on the yellow attendance card.
• Students will not be released until the parent/guardian arrives and completes the checkout process. The student will be called from the classroom once the parent/guardian has arrived. Allow ample time for the checkout process, particularly during high-volume times.

Attendance Matters! Regular attendance is critical to student success and staying on track for graduation. This year, we are adding additional layers of attendance monitoring and intervention to identify concerns early and provide support to students and families.
