Parent Phone Calls

[laepelba]

I need to make some parent phone calls about student absences. There is a good chance that several of the parents on my list do not speak English. I am wondering about some key vocabulary that I will need to inform the parents of their children's attendance and consequences.

Here are the words/phrases that I need to be able to say in Spanish:
- absence
- unexcused absence
- unexcused tardy (late for class without a note/pass)
- three unexcused tardies equal one unexcused absence
- three unexcused absences equal an automatic failing grade for this class

Thank you so much!
