MSC Attendance/Early Dismissals

Center Grove Middle School Central parents and guardians can now report a student absence, including appointments, late arrivals, or early dismissal, using their Skyward Family Access account.  Using Skyward Family Access account gives you the ability to report or request an absence 24/7 using your computer or mobile device.  School attendance is important.  If your MSC student is going to be absent for any reason,  please enter before 9:00 AM each day.  We ask that you do this to ensure the safety of our students. Instructions are linked below.

EARLY DISMISSALS - If you need to request to have your student released early, please enter the request in your Skyward Family Access account.  

EXTENDED ABSENCES - In the event of a family emergency or a planned absence which will result in missing several days of school, students need to complete a family leave form well in advance of the day to be missed.  We highly encourage parents to plan family vacations during our calendar breaks as attendance does influence a child’s ability to succeed in school.

DOCTOR NOTES - When a doctor’s visit accompanies an absence, request that the doctor write a note so that the absence will count as an excused absence.  If a student arrives to school late from a doctor’s appointment, please have them turn the slip into the office.  Without the slip, the absence will count as a late arrival/lost instructional time or unexcused absence.
