About Grantsville Elementary

To excuse a student on the app:

• When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
• Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
• Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
• From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse.   With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.   

• 1. Message Tab
• Attendance Notification
• View
• Add Absent Request
• OR
• 2. Attendance
• Add Absent Request

• Either of these two options will open a pop-up. 
• Complete the following information:
• Student
• Date/Time
• Reason
• Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2^nd hour”)
• If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
• Submit

To submit a request from the website:

• Tooeleschools.org
• Click on the Families tab across the top
• Click on Skyward for Parents
• Log in
• On the top right click student  (if you only have one student you will just see your student’s name)
• In the drop-down menu select the student’s name you need to excuse
• Select Attendance in the menu on the left hand side
• Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page “Absence Request.”
• An “Add Request” pop-up block will open
• Complete the following blocks:
• Date/Time
• Reason
• Comment (optional, but once again, very helpful)
• Save
• Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.
• After the request has been processed, parents will receive a notification in Skyward
• “(Student’s name) Absence Request has been (approved or denied)
• The Absence Request submitted for (student) on (date) has been (approved or denied). 
• If a request is denied, a reason must be provided.  It will then say “Go to your Absence Requests for further information.”
