Attendance Updates
- If your student is going to need to be picked up for an appointment, please make sure that you call ahead to the early release line so we can get them out of class and have them ready to leave for you.
- If a student is on their lunch and/or off period and we are asked to find them, it is difficult as each lunch period has hundreds of students. Please plan ahead by calling the attendance line at 720-972-6400 and you will select option 1 for early release.
- If your student is marked absent in a class and needs to correct their attendance because they were present in class, please have them pick up an attendance correction form from Student Relations.
- If you have questions or concerns about attendance, please contact Mr. Pratt, Mr. Davey or Mrs. Smith in the deans office.
