Attendance & Absence Reporting
Absence Reporting
Parents must notify the Administration of all anticipated absences by using the School Messenger app, web portal, or phone line. Documentation for absences must be submitted to attendance@cvcaroyals.org.
- School Messenger Portal or App HERE
- School Messenger Direct Phone Line: 1-833-687-2208
When a student leaves campus for any reason, families need to use School Messenger to record the reason and time of arrival or departure. Then the student must sign in or out at the Welcome Center.
FAQs – School Messenger App and Attendance Information
Why do I need to put things in School Messenger?
It lets the school know that your student has your permission for the following:
- To be out sick
- To leave for an appointment
- To arrive late or leave early to/from school.
Will using School Messenger automatically excuse my student’s absence?
Not necessarily…
- In order for an absence or tardy to be excused, it must qualify under the allowable reasons listed in the Student/Parent Handbook.
- Excused Absences (medical appointment, death of an immediate family member, college visit, driver’s education – all with documentation).
- Excused Tardies (medical appointment, driver’s education, involvement in an accident, bus breakdown or delay, family emergency – some require documentation). Please note that “traffic” is not excused. Students receive two grace tardies each semester to account for unexpected issues like traffic.
- All documentation can be emailed to attendance@cvcaroyals.org or a paper copy can promptly be dropped off at the main office.
- As a reminder, CVCA is a closed-campus → Students are not permitted to leave campus in the middle of the day and then return for any reason other than a medical or dental appointment.
Is using the app or the attendance line mandatory?
Yes, we do require that all absences or tardies be recorded by a parent/guardian in School Messenger. We care deeply about the safety and security of our students and having one platform to track this important data is the best way to ensure we maintain accurate records.
How do I get the School Messenger App?
You can download it HERE or through the CVCA website My CVCA tab under Attendance.
The direct attendance line is 1-833-687-2208.
For general attendance questions, please contact Mrs. Stephanie Linaburg at slinaburg@cvcaroyals.org.
Extended Absence
Students planning to miss more than three days of school should submit the Application for Approval for Student Leave of Absence form to request the absences to be excused. This form must be completed two weeks before the first day of absence.
