No, it's not. Use one of these: I was not able to attend school on Monday. (past) I will not be able to attend school on Monday.

Hello, hmmm—and welcome to English Forums.

'Can' = 'be able to', so your sentence is wrong. Perhaps you mean one of these:

I could not / was not able to attend school (last) Monday.
I cannot / am not able to attend school (next) Monday.
