[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to know the even more hilarious part of this new system? I’m a dcps parent and teacher. The school I teach at had no idea about it. I showed the email to my principal and she was like HUH???

DCPS for the win. Sighhhhh.[/quote]

I am OP of this thread and I suspected this was the case. I haven't asked our admin about it yet but we are one of the schools with a functional absence report system and I'm annoyed.

We used to be at a school with an absolutely terrible absence report system though. You were supposed to send excuse notes via email to the registrar, which we always did, with a doctors note attached if necessary. These would get marked as excused absences about 50% of the time. It was really frustrating. So I do get why they might want to create a centralized system since I think a lot of schools struggle with this. But the goal should be to provide a functional system to all schools, not to just force even schools who have sorted it out to have non-functional, confusing system no one understands.[/quote]
