Attendance and Behavior
Contact Information
Regular attendance is key to academic, social, and emotional success. Missing even one class on the A/B Block Schedule makes it hard to catch up. Repeated absences from the same class can seriously impact progress. Students are expected to take responsibility for their attendance.
Excused VS Unexcused Absences
Excused absences include:
Illness or injury
Family travel (necessary)
Quarantine
Bereavement
Medical/legal appointments
Weather emergencies
Religious instruction
Educational or job interviews
Parents must notify the school before the absence via:
📞 503.565.4208 or
📧 MHS-Attendance@msd.k12.or.us
Homework can be found in Google Classroom or requested from teachers.
Unexcused absences are those not meeting the criteria above. The school determines the absence type.
