What to do if your child will be absent for a whole day or a number of days:

Please call the SSS office at 250-847-2231 or email SSSoffice@sd54.bc.ca and let us know that your child will be away and we can excuse their absence. If they are absent due to illness, please include that reason.

If your child will be absent for part of the day, such as for an appointment:

Please call or email the SSS office prior to the student leaving so we can excuse their absence. Students are required to sign out when they leave and sign back in when they return.

If an absence goes unexcused, you will get an automated phone call and email indicating what blocks your child was absent for that day. If it was an absence that your child should have been excused for, please call or email the SSS office to have that rectified.

If your child has been marked absent by their teacher but was in attendance, please have them discuss this with the teacher that took the attendance that day.
