Reporting Student Absences
Parents can report their student's absences by calling the Riffenburgh Attendance Line 970-488-7936 or via ParentVUE (see instructions below)
Reporting Absences Thru ParentVUE
Why Use ParentVUE for Absences
If a student is not attending school for the day or series of days, the parent has the ability to document this absence in ParentVUE instead of making a call and leaving a voicemail to the attendance clerk.
How to Enter an Absence
• Log in to ParentVUE
• Click on “Report Absences” (listed on the left side panel)
• Mark either ‘E for Excused’ or ‘EI for Excused Illness’. You can submit the attendance for a single date or a range of dates by clicking on each day. (Future absences are not visible in PVUE until the date of the absence.)
• Please leave comment in the note section, explaining the absence.
• Click Save
Please let the Attendance Office know about ALL absences even if you have alerted the Classroom Teacher.
Volunteering at Riffenburgh
If you plan on Volunteering at Riffenburgh, you must register or check that your status is current with Poudre School District (PSD) thru the following portal (renewals are every 3 years) before you come to school.
** Please remember to bring a Government Issued Identification (Driver’s License) (DIGITAL IDs are not accepted) to school when you check in in as a Visitor or Volunteer. This is a requirement for the Check In process. **
Classroom Treats
If it is necessary to have food in classrooms during school hours (i.e. birthday snack, holidays, special occasions, school events, etc.), only commercially prepared foods and packaged foods with ingredient labels from retail stores should be served. As always, please contact your child's teacher prior to sending food or treats in.
