Whether due to illness, a medical appointment or other important events, there are times when students will need to be away from school.
Report an absence
If a student is going to be late or absent, please notify us through our online Edsby system, or call us at 519-776-7344.
COVID-19 self-assessment and testing
All students must complete the GECDSB Self-Assessment Tool before attending school each day. You can also view how to use the self-assessment tool on the GECDSB YouTube channel.
Leaving school during the day
If a student needs to leave school during the school day, they need to notify the attendance office with a note or phone call from home before leaving the building.
Remote learning absence
We still take attendance during remote learning. If a student is not online and you have not reported their absence, you will receive a call from the school, inquiring about the absence.
