    How to Register a Student at East

    Even if your student has already been enrolled with the Î÷Ê©Ö±²¥APP School District, they need to register at their school every year. There are several ways to register your student.

    Online registration

    During the summer, you can use Parent Connection to register your student for the upcoming fall semester. For online registration instructions, click here. ASD's Back to School page also has detailed information on dates and times for online registration as well as registering in person.

    How to Report an Absence

    Full day absence: The easiest way to report a full day absence for your student is to use East's Automated Attendance phone line at (907) 566-2002. You will be asked to leave your name, your student's name and school ID number, and the date of the absence. Please speak clearly!

     

    Partial day absence: If you need to excuse your student for part of a day (e.g. for a doctor's appointment), they must have a note signed by their parent/guardian. The student should bring the note to the Attendance office. The office staff will issue the student a blue pass excusing the student out of class at the proper time.

     

    If you have questions or concerns about your student's attendance, please check  or call the school number at (907) 742-2100, and choose option 2 to speak to someone in Attendance. For more information on how to use Parent Connect, see the FAQ on this page.

     

    How to Excuse a Tardy/Detention

    East High attendance policy is to give detentions to students who are late to class. If your student needs to be excused for arriving late to school, they must have a note signed by their parent/guardian. The student should bring the note to the Attendance office, where they will be given a pass to excuse them into class without receiving a detention. If your student has already received a detention, they should staple it to their note when they turn it in so it can be excused.

     
    What is Parent Connection and how can I use it?

     allows parents to check school information about their students. Parents can use this tool to contact teachers, get class news and monitor their student's assignments, attendance and grades. Parent Connection can also be used to add money to your student's lunch account, to register for school, and to pay fees.

     

    Parents may also have student information sent to them by email. See the "Notifications" tab in the upper right of the Parent Connection home web page for email settings.
