Excused Absences

If you know your student has missed school for an excuseable reason and would like to inform the office, you have three options:

* Email the office at mtmsattendance@pps.net with your student's first and last name, the date(s) missed, and their reason for missing. (This is the fastest method as it is monitored throughout the school day.)

* Call the school (503-916-5646) and follow the prompts to the attendance line to provide the same information above. (This line is checked a few times a day when the attendance secretary is in office between 8:30am and 1:15pm.)

* Send a signed excused absence note for your student to give the office when they return to school. (These updates are made as they are received.)

Please do not contact the attendance office to fix attendance mistakes. If you believe your student has been mistakenly marked absent for one or more periods of the school day, please email the teacher for that period directly to confirm your student was in class. The teacher will then ask the attendance office to make any necessary changes. Teacher emails are available on ParentVue, and on our website under Teachers & Staff.

Please allow 24hrs for any attendance changes to show on ParentVue.
