Attendance
Attendance in Jeffco
The importance of regular, daily school attendance as a basis for academic achievement cannot be overemphasized. Attendance is a shared responsibility of the student, the families and the school.
It is the family’s responsibility to ensure their student attends school and to notify the school when their student is absent for a legitimate reason, such as an illness or family emergency. Each family should also ensure their student’s school has their correct contact information so that the school is able to communicate about any attendance issues that may arise.

- Date and reason for absence or tardy/late arrival
- Your name, telephone number and relationship to the student

Early Dismissal
Please call the main office at your student's Warren Tech campus at least 30 minutes in advance of a student's early dismissal. This is to ensure the office can get to your student and have them ready to go at the desired time. If leaving a message, please be sure to provide dismissal date and time.

- The parent or guardian must sign the form along with the student. After the form is signed by both the parent or guardian and the student, it can be turned in to the student's teacher.
- The teacher will sign the form and forward it to the administration department for authorization.
- This form is not required for one day's absence.
