Every Day Counts in PXU! We're excited to introduce ParentVUE Absence Reporting, a new way for parents and guardians to notify schools when a student will be absent. Using ParentVUE, families can: ✔ Report absences anytime ✔ Submit supporting documentation ✔ Stay informed about attendance If you do not have a ParentVUE account, your school's Family Engagement Liaison can help you get started. Let’s work together to support student attendance and help every student stay on track for success #EveryDayCountsInPXU #AttendanceMatters
