• CDSD Cyber Academy Attendance Page

    CDSD Cyber Academy families will be required to report any daily student absences (illness) by sending an emailed or scanned excuse to cdsdcyberattendance@cdschools.org.  A parent/guardian handwritten signature must be submitted along with the absence excuse. This must be submitted within three days upon return from being sick.  If an excuse is not submitted upon return to school, such absence will be classified as illegal until an excuse is forthcoming.. A doctor’s certificate is required for absence due to illness, for three (3) or more consecutive days and may be requested or for a shorter period if requested by the school.  Parents are urged to secure a doctor’s excuse for any absence if such a visit has been made. If you have any additional questions regarding your child’s specific situation and what is required please contact our office.
