Gator Bytes: Weekly News and General Information for Kings Glen


attendance

Attendance Matters!

When your student is going to be absent or coming late to school, it is important for parents/guardians to notify the school office with the date and reason for the absence or late arrival.

You can report absences/late arrivals by either leaving a message on the attendance line at 703-239-4040 or by emailing KGNotes@fcps.edu. Both are monitored continuously throughout the day by the school office and are the best ways to make sure that the school gets your message even if the teacher is absent on the day of your student's absence.
