What's the procedure of excusing students at EPHS?

Parents/guardians are encouraged to call the school prior to 11 a.m. each day their student is absent. Parents/guardians must follow procedures for excusing students. A voice messaging system is available; the phone number is 952-975-8001. 

• For Spanish: Si su hijo/a estará ausente por favor llame al 952-975-7068 para justificar la ausencia.
• For Somali: Ilmahaygu ma iman doono dugsiga ama wuxuu Leeyahay ballan takjtar. Soo wac dugsiga: 952-975-7069.

All absences must be called in within 48 hours; no absences will be excused after that time period. Students who are 18 years old are not allowed to call themselves in for attendance or early release. Notes are not accepted. School will not accept calls from parents/guardians to excuse their student from missing a class for any reason while remaining in the building; this will be counted as an unexcused absence.
