Daily Attendance Information

Parent/Guardian must submit an online absence form for each student lateness/absence/early dismissal from school.

If it’s more convenient, you can also opt to call the main number for your child’s school. If you use the phone number(s) on this page, you will still need to submit an online notification or a written note to the school office.

On the day of your student’s absence, you will receive a verification phone call, even if the absence has been reported via the Jenkintown Online Notification System.  Phoning parents and guardians of students who are not in class is an important measure undertaken by the District to ensure the safety of all of our students.

If your child is absent from school, please use the following contact information:

Attendance forms via Google Form are no longer available. We are strongly encouraging everyone to use the Attendance form in PowerSchool, by logging in, clicking on the Forms tab, selecting the Student Absence Form and filling out the form.  If you need your PowerSchool login information, please reach out to Ms. Laverty, lavertya@jtowndrakes.org or Mrs. Mulvaney, mulvaneye@jtowndrakes.org 
You will still be able to submit attendance notes via email to the administrative assistant of your child’s school or hand written notes may be turned into the main office upon your student’s return to school.
