Reporting an Absence Through Infinite Campus

As a reminder, BVSD's illness protocol follows CDPHE's How Sick is Too Sick guidelines, which includes information on COVID-related illness and other common illnesses and guidelines for school attendance. BVSD's health guidance aligns with that of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

If someone tests positive for COVID, Flu, RSV, or is experiencing any respiratory illness:

They should stay home until symptoms are improving and for at least 24 hours after fever has resolved without the use of fever-reducing medications
When going back to normal activities, take added precautions over the next five days, such as hand and respiratory hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.

Please remember:

Regardless of COVID status - stay home when sick
Reach out to your health care provider to discuss testing and treatment options if you think you might have COVID-19 (e.g., you know you have been exposed to COVID-19, or know that COVID-19 is circulating in your community, school, or family and you have symptoms).
If you think you may have COVID-19, avoid interacting with anyone who is more likely to develop severe disease. Though older adults have the highest risk for severe illness, some children may have medical conditions that increase their risk.

REPORTING ABSENCE

Parents and guardians can log in to their Infinite Campus Parent Portal site to notify School staff of an expected student absence. This will ensure the authenticity of reported absences, while also providing families with improved communication when a student misses class.

See below for a step-by-step guide that can help you through the process.

Log Into Campus Parent Portal

Overview

The BVSD Report Absence Form allows parents and guardians to securely report a student’s absence from school for a single day. Users submitting an absence report will receive a confirmation email at the contact email address listed in Infinite Campus. The form can be toggled between English and Spanish.

Illness

As a reminder, BVSD's illness protocol is as follows:

If your child is experiencing fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, or chills (major symptoms) that last longer than 24 hours they must have a negative PCR COVID test to return to school or they will need to stay home for 10 days.

If your child is experiencing any other symptom (minor symptoms) that last longer than 48 hours they must have a negative PCR COVID test to return to school or they will need to stay home for 10 days.

Testing is available through BVSD and COVID Check Colorado throughout the district - see the schedule here. Parents MUST report a positive test result to the school.

If you have questions about returning to school after an illness, please contact our school's health office.

Excused Absences

Please call in/report the absence in Infinite Campus on the same day as the absence. Be sure to let us know your student’s full name, your name, the date you are calling, the date of and the reason for the absence. You can also send in a detailed note with your student, or fax the note to: 720-561-4901.

Tardiness

If/when your student is tardy for any reason, please have them sign in at the main office to get a pass to class. If the tardiness is to be excused, please send your student with a note to the front office or call the attendance line/report the absence in Infinite Campus the same day. Please do not have the student give the note to a teacher.

Pre-arranged Absences

Any planned absence of two school days or more must be pre-approved by completing the “Pre-arranged Absence” form. This form is available at the front office and, after completion by parents/guardians and teachers, it should be submitted for approval by the administration at least three (3) days prior to the absence. Absences beyond four (4) school days will be approved based on student academic progress. Click HERE to access the form

Leaving Campus

A student must check out with the office if leaving campus for any reason, including a doctor appointment, an illness, or not attending his/her scheduled class for any reason. These absences need to be excused by a parent either in writing or by phone. Students do not need to sign in and out when leaving campus during the lunch hour.

Notification of Tardies/Absences

An automated attendance phone call/email/text (based on you IC preferences) will be sent between 4:00 - 6:30 pm on the day of a tardy or unexcused absence. Please check your daily and respond with your name, relationship to the student, and reason why the absence should be excused.
