Report a Student Absence

Our NWSS team asks that parents and guardians call the school in the case of a student absence, before the start of a the school day. This helps us ensure that you have given permission for your child to be absent, and supports our staff in accurately tracking and following up.

Absences can be reported:

  • 24 hours a day through our voice message system at 604-517-6391,
    If you are leaving a voicemail message, please state the student’s full name, grade, the date of the absence, the reason for absence, and, if possible, their student number.

  • or they can be made any time in advance, or before 9:45am on the day of the absence, using the form below.

Thank you!
