‼️ Synergy ParentVUE Self Reporting Absences

Hello Harvest Park Parents,

We’re excited to announce a new Synergy ParentVUE feature that lets parents submit student absences online. This option is available in addition to calling the attendance office. Absences can be submitted until 3:30 PM each day. This feature will be available from Monday, December 1, 2025.

Additionally, Synergy has released a new mobile app for ParentVUE and StudentVUE. Please download the “ParentVUE (New)” and “StudentVUE (New)” apps on your mobile device. The older version will be discontinued in the Spring.

To use this feature, parents can log into their Synergy ParentVUE account and follow these steps:

  1. Click Report Absence for your student.
  2. Select the start and end dates and choose a reason from the dropdown menu.

These steps are the same in the new ParentVUE mobile app.

For questions, please contact the Harvest Park attendance office.

PPIE_PARENT DONATIONS


PPIE is moving steadily toward our $750,000 parent donations goal, and our thermometer is climbing! Your support helps us reach the top—and keeps essential programs in place for our students! 

Community support through PPIE plays a vital role in keeping important programs in place for our students—librarian hours, elementary music, mental-health and wellness support, and more. These are programs our schools rely on every day, and they’re possible because of donations from our generous PUSD families like yours.

Help us reach our goal by  donating during this season of giving. And you can make an even bigger impact by submitting a corporate match—all of which directly benefits classrooms across Pleasanton!
