Absence Form
As directed by Chicago Public Schools, Ogden will no longer accept email or an electronic form submission as a way to excuse absences. The reason being is that neither provide a parent or guardian signature, which is a requirement to validate an absence.
Instead, on the first day an absent student returns to school, the parent/guardian must provide the school with a signed “Reason for Absence Note” or handwritten note that identifies the reason and date for each student absence. The teacher will submit the note to the office and the paper copy will be processed and filed.
Should you have questions, please contact the office at any campus for further clarification.

Attendance and Extra Curricular Participation
Any student who is not in school at the start of the school day or leaves school will not participate in practice or any extra-curricular event that night. Students who leave school because of sickness, who are tardy or absent for any reason other than for medical appointments, or who miss school because of shadow days or funerals (all must be verified) will not be allowed to attend or participate in extracurricular activities or practice on the same day. This pertains to that day only. Daily attendance will be forwarded to the Athletic Director who will forward this information to coaches.
Students must maintain an attendance rate of 92% or better, and zero Fs, to participate in clubs, sports, and any extra-curricular or after-school activities.
