Absence excuse notes must be received within 3 school days of a student's absence.

There are several options for submitting student absent notes:

It is preferred that you use this Google Form, which goes directly to our data manager, Mrs. Barnard.

You can also send an email or Dojo message to your child's teacher. If you send an email, please CC Stephanie Barnard.

You can also print the student absent note, fill it out, and return it to your child's teacher or the office to inform the school about your child's absence.

Parents are required by law (N.C. 115C-378) to notify the school of the reason for each known absence of the child, in accordance with local school policy.

If you have any questions about absences/attendance, please email Mrs. Barnard, our PowerSchool Manager: Stephanie_Barnard@abss.k12.nc.us
