Report an Absence

We have an absence alert system in operation at Memorial Composite High School. Should your student be unable to attend school, please call or email to report the absence or late arrival.

If your child is absent and you have not called or emailed, you will receive an automated phone call reporting the absence.

We do not have adequate resources to care for sick students. Please arrange for sick students to recover at home.

Telephone Absence Reporting

Call 780-963-2255 and press 1 for the absence line.

Please include the following information in the phone call:

  • Your student’s full name;
  • When your student will be absent or late;
  • The reason for the absence or late; and,
  • When your student is expected to return to school.

Student Extended Non-Medical Absences

Students planning extended absences (non-medical), must fill in an MCHS Non-Medical Absence Form that is to be completed at least a month prior to the absence. Students are responsible to maintain their academics while away.
