CVHS ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES

Please follow this system as it allows for a seamless attendance process.
Below are the steps that are to be followed when communicating attendance for your student.

  1. Call attendance line: 303-387-9002
  2. Choose the correct line (early release, late arrival, all day absence) and leave a message.

  • Students have FIVE free excused absences each semester. As long as a parent calls to excuse the absence and states the reason, we will excuse them, no matter the reason given.

  • After those five free days, students will need a doctor's note for any illness-related absence for the absence to be excused.  A dean of students may contact the family for more information before excusing another kind of absence. 

  • For future planned absences of three or more days to be excused, the Pre-Arranged Absence Request form must be completed prior to the absence and returned to the main office at least 48 hours in advance of the absence.

  • If a student arrives late, they should just go straight to class without checking in at the main office. The teacher will mark them tardy, and if a parent calls to excuse the tardy, we will fix it on the back end.

Early Release
After we receive your message, we will send a pass for your student that will allow them to come to the front office to sign out at the provided time. If your student is returning for the day, they must sign back in immediately when they arrive back at the school.
If you call your student out to leave early and they do not sign out, it will not be “excused.” If your student signs out, returns later, and does not sign back in, it will not be “excused”
In order for your student to leave the school, a parent/guardian must call the attendance line and complete the steps above.

Future Planned Absences of Three or More Days
For future planned absences of three or more days, the Pre-Arranged Absence Request form must be completed prior to the absence and returned to the main office at least 48 hours in advance of the absence.

Thank you for following our system, we appreciate you greatly.
