Reporting an Absence
Reporting an Absence
This year, in addition to monitoring student attendance, schools are being asked to collect more information about the student illness. As part of the Health Department's tracking of Influenza Like Illness in Howard County, schools are required to report numbers of student illness and symptoms.
If your child is absent from school because of illness, please contact the school on the first day of the absence and provide the following information:
* Your child's name
* The date
* Symptoms of influenza like illness: i.e. fever greater than 100degrees F, cough, sore throat
You may contact the school using one of the following options:
Phone: 410-313-2880
email address: mhhsabsence@hcpss.org
Your child still needs to bring a note in when they return to school. Thanks for your help.
