• Notification of absences

     

    Chinook must be notified of your child's absence before 9:45 a.m. on the day of the absence. To report an absence, you may call, email, or log onto ParentConnect.

     

    • Call our front office at 907-742-6700 and leave a message on the attendance line, Option 2. You may leave a voicemail with your student's name, teacher, and reason for absence.

    • If your child is not attending school, please email ChinookAttendance@asdk12.org with your student's name, teacher, and reason for absence.

    • Report your child's absence through Parent Connect. See directions 

     

    Please be advised that if your phone call or email is not received by 9:45 a.m., you may receive a robocall stating that your child has been marked absent. Despite our best efforts, we may not be able to input all notices in a timely manner due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    If a student misses school, parents are encouraged to work with their child's teacher and principal to determine the appropriate make-up and timeline to complete the work. The district has updated the make-up procedures for class work, assignments and tests. The procedures are outlined in the student handbooks.
