Attendance Information

• When a student will be absent, notification should be provided to the school before, or at the start of, the school day when possible.
• To excuse an absence, written or electronic communication citing the reason(s) for the absence must be provided to the school no more than five school days following the date of the absence. 

How to report an absence

• Absences can be reported in ParentVUE the same day of the absence.

• Write a note or send a medical note with your student to provide to the main office.

• Call the school at 703-878-2593 – leave a voicemail if unavailable.

• Students who are not in their classroom/Advisory by 8:05 a.m. will be marked tardy.
• Students who are not in their classroom by the start of each class period throughout the say will be marked tardy.
• A student's tardy will be recorded as excused or unexcused based on whether the reason for the late arrival meets the excused or unexcused absence criteria outlined in the PWCS Attendance Guidelines.

• No early dismissal of students will be allowed after 2:35 p.m.

As we prepare for the new school year, we want to share an update about late arrival procedures. Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, Beville Middle School will begin using KioskVUE, a digital check-in and check-out system located in our front office. The system provides a faster, more convenient way for families to manage late arrivals and early dismissals while supporting accurate attendance records and student safety.

Parents and guardians who bring a student to school after the start of the school day should enter the building and complete the sign-in process. Students who walk to school and arrive late may sign themselves in; however, the school will contact a parent or guardian to verify the late arrival. Until verification is received, the tardy will be considered unexcused.

To help ensure a smooth experience, we encourage families to make sure their ParentVUE account information is current before the start of the school year. Families using ParentVUE can take advantage of additional KioskVUE features, including QR code check-in options.
