Student Absences
This school year North Allegheny School District will be accepting student absence excuses electronically, through the Tyler SIS Parent Portal.
Student excuses will be submitted through an "E-Form," creating a touchless submission option for parents/guardians. This will reduce the amount of paper transmissions between parents/guardians, students, and our staff. Please review the directions to submit an electronic student excuse below and contact your student's building secretary with any questions.
