A: Parents / guardians are expected to report their children’s absences on the day of the absence by calling 262-971-1820, then press 2.
If the absence is planned, a Planned Absence Form must be obtained from the Student Services window or downloaded from the LDMS website. Homework arrangements should be made with the student’s teacher(s) prior to the absence.
