Information from the Attendance Office

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! 

 

NEW THIS YEAR: You can excuse an all-day absence, report a late arrival, or an early dimissal via ParentVUE now! (See top button above). This new process enters the necessary absence excused attendance codes for me, the attendance secretary, at one click of a button. What a time saver! And, I hope it is for you as well. 

You can ALSO leave a note for me to excuse an absence for a previous day! The system won't allow you to choose a previous day, but you can mention the date in the Note field to let me know to excuse it.

Other options: You can call our attendance line or email me at ILHSattendance@nsd.org if you prefer.

If arriving late, please be aware that our doors are locked during the school day for everyone’s security. There is a white call button to the left of the front door if someone is not visible at the front lobby desk. ILHS staff will answer momentarily and provide entry.

If your student needs to leave early, please use ParentVUE or call 425-408-6210 to leave a message on our attendance phone line or email ILHSattendance@nsd.org. We will give them an Early Dismissal pass to give to their teacher when it is time to leave. We want to have students advocate for themselves by coming to the lobby on their own at the appointed time via this pass system. Calling the day before means the pass will be waiting for them as they arrive in the morning of the day they will be leaving early.

For day-of parent notifications, please tell your student to come to the front lobby desk to pick up their Early Dismissal pass before it is time to leave. Good times to stop by are before school, during nutrition break, or during lunch. We are trying out best not to call a classroom and interrupt instruction to retrieve a student for an early dismissal.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.

Student Success & What Parents Can Do to Help

Innovation Lab High School wants your student to be successful! Parents and guardians can help their student by promoting and encouraging regular, punctual attendance.

Every effort will be made to record attendance notifications received by 2:30 PM throughout the school week. Notifications received after 2:30 PM will be recorded the next school day. Parents and guardians can view attendance by logging in to ParentVUE.

What parents can do to help:
Certain attendance practices completed throughout the school year by parents/guardians (and students themselves) will help a great deal as students near the end of the grading period and face attendance appeals:

  • Maintaining a record of absences and the reasons on a calendar throughout the school year.
  • Providing doctor's notes for medical, dental or orthodontic visits as they happen during the school year.

Following up immediately when a student has been absent is important and helpful to all parties.

We are here to help! Please contact us at ILHSattendance@nsd.org​​​​​​​ if you have any questions about our policy or your student's attendance.

The profile identifies the dates and periods a student has missed school and indicates whether or not an absence has been excused.
