Reporting an Absence in a Timely Manner
When picking up your child early from school for an appointment or to otherwise leave early, please give us as much advance notice as possible. Knowing first thing in the morning that your child will be picked up later in the day helps us to connect with your child so that they are waiting for you at our Hamilton main entrance at the desired pick-up time. There are three different ways to let us know that your child will be leaving early or will be absent from school.
Attendance Line (608) 204-4702: Call our attendance line day or night and leave a message that your child will be absent.
Main Office Phone Number (608) 204-4620: If time got away from you and school has already started, you can also call our main office phone number to talk to one of our friendly Hamilton front office workers to report your child absent.
Online Reporting Form: You can also report your child absent from school by using our MMSD online absence reporting tool that can be found at this link. Once at the link, click on the 'Reporting an Absence' dropdown, and then click the blue 'Report Your Child Absent' button. Note that this process will require you to log into your parent Infinite Campus account.
Covid Note: If your child is absent due to an actual or suspected covid-19 infection, we ask that you contact our school Health Office so we can plan for or conduct contact tracing as needed. Health Office: (608) 204-4632.
