Dear Chartiers-Houston Jr/Sr High School Families,
We’re excited to introduce AnswerQuest, our new school communication tool that makes reporting high school absences and getting answers to your school questions as easy as sending a text.
Reporting Jr/Sr High School Student Absences
Here's how it works:
When your Jr/Sr high school student is absent
, you'll receive a text message from the school. Simply reply with the reason for the absence. You can even text a photo of a doctor's note or other supporting documentation directly in that conversation.
If you know in advance
that your student will be out on an upcoming day, you can proactively text the AnswerQuest number to let the school know ahead of time.
No calls to the school or paper forms needed.
Just a quick text or call to:
724-603-1320
AnswerQuest Can Also Answer Your School Questions
Beyond absences, AnswerQuest is available anytime 24/7 to help with questions like:
“Is there early dismissal this Friday?”
“What's for lunch today?”
“When is the Parent-Teacher Conference?”
“What is the parking policy?”
"What time is the basketball game tonight?”
"How does my student reset their password?”
And so much more.
