Conferences & Early Release
Parents, have you tried using Remind to report your child's absence?
Remind is a great resource for communicating attendance! It's quick, convenient and can be used 24 hours a day. Remind will translate to your preferred language automatically. You can also send files, such as doctor's notes. Most importantly, Remind saves time. Don't have time to call, or are you somewhere where you are unable to make a phone call? Sending a Remind is as fast as sending a text message.
Sending a Remind is quick & easy!
1. Login to your Remind account
2. Click on the Garden Heights Attendance Classroom
3. Type your message in the chat box and hit send
Messages you send in this classroom will only be seen by the classroom manager. If you would like to be added to this classroom, text @ghatten to 81010.
Other ways to report attendance
Please call our 24-hour attendance line at (509) 766-2651 ext 1194, or email ghattendance@mlsd161.org.
As a reminder, district policy states that the parent/guardian has 48 hours from the date of the absence to contact the school to excuse the absence.
