Attendance
The best way to report an absence (partial or full-day) is through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account. For safety reasons, we kindly request that absences be reported by 8:30 a.m. on the day of the absence. This will ensure the authenticity of reported absences and provide families with improved communication when a student is absent from class.
Other ways to report an absence:
- Email us at flatirons.attendance@bvsd.org
- Call our attendance line at 720-561-4602
If you know in advance that your student will be out for an extended period (more than three school days), we require families to complete a Pre-Arranged Absence form (Spanish Version), report the absence through one of the options listed above, and connect with your child’s teacher so they know about the upcoming absences.
Colorado state law allows schools to excuse up to ten school days (approximately two weeks) within a year for any reason. After that, documentation is required to excuse additional days (doctor, therapy, etc.). The key is clear communication. Policy is one thing, but relationships matter most. We also know that life presents opportunities and challenges we will work through together.
