# Report an Absence

### **Report an Absence**

We're making it easier for you to let us know when your child will be absent from
school. You can now use the MyChildAtSchool app (also available via desktop
browser) to notify us. You will get an instant confirmation that we've received your
message, and also when we have approved the absence. You can report same
day absences, time off for medical appointments and future leave requests.

Should you need to discuss your child’s absence in more detail, you can speak
with the **Attendance Officer** on **02380 325333**

**MCAS is available via [MCAS Parent Login](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) OR you can click the links below to download the app.**
