Report an absence.
For School Year 2025-2026, DCPS has launched a new, districtwide excuse note submission process for student absences!
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to submit excuse notes through Aspen GO—a mobile friendly version of Aspen Parent Portal, and the same platform that school enrollment and reenrollment is completed on. Please visit the DCPS Attendance webpage for guidance on how to submit an excuse note. See below for instructions on how to navigate Aspen GO (be sure to reach out to the main office if you are having an issue logging in or email myya.seldon@k12.dc.gov)
