Attendance
Regular attendance is an essential part of a student’s education. Students are expected to be in attendance every school day as required by Colorado state law and district policy.
For information on Foothill's attendance and tardy policies, please review the Student Attendance section in the Foothill Family Handbook.
If your child will be absent or late:
Please report the absence online via Infinite Campus OR call our 24-hour attendance line at (720) 561-2602 by 8:20 a.m. Always notify the office of an absence, not just the classroom teacher.

PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCE Form:
Parents are required to fill out a Pre-Arranged Absence Form for any planned absence longer than three (3) consecutive school days. The form should be submitted to the office for approval PRIOR to the absence. Please complete, sign and return the form to peggy.pease@bvsd.org.
leave of absence:
For pre-arranged absences lasting longer than 10 consecutive school days (such as extended travel, etc.) students must take a Leave of Absence which withdraws students from Foothill and then re-enrolls them upon their return. Please contact Frannie at (720) 561-2600 or email frances.katnik@bvsd.org for more information.
withdrawing from Foothill elementary:
A parent/guardian is required to fill out a Notification of Withdrawal Form if their student is leaving Foothill to attend a school outside of the Boulder Valley School District. Please complete this form at least one month prior to withdrawal and email it to frances.katnik@bvsd.org.
