Excusing Absences
Parents and Students can see your attendance by going to https://myseminary.churchofjesuschrist.org/dashboard
We send out text messages the following day when a student is marked absent and it will state the day the student was absent.
There are a few ways that you can excuse your students absence. The parent or guardian of the student can:
1. use the link above to excuse them online
2. respond to the text they recieved about their student being absent
3. call in to excuse the absence at 435-257-3608
4. email Sister Fuhriman at Katie.Fuhriman@churchofjesuschrist.org
Seminary Policy with Absences:
Each time a student misses seminary, a parent needs to excuse them (unless it is school-excused) but please note that sometimes the teacher or coach excusing school activity absences doesn't get the list to the school before the school sends us the absence report for that day. A parent can still excuse it if they get a message saying it wasn’t excused, school and parent excused absences are the same on our end.
Even if you've cleared the absence with the school, please call/email the seminary to excuse your student here as well.
Students cannot have any unexcused absences to get credit for the trimester. Those will need to either be excused by a parent or made up with the teacher.
Students are allowed 15 excused absences for the trimester (those include school sports/activities absences) before they lose credit in seminary. If they exceed the 15 excused absences, the teacher will give them some seminary make-up.
