can we use the verb to miss that way? I think it would be natural to say "she missed the class because of the traffic". Can I simply say "she missed" in the context above?

Only saying "She missed." Is too vague. If the context was very clear it might be ok.

I guess you could say "she missed school" and that would be enough. Also, I'd say "she didn't come to our class" instead of "she haven't come to our class".
