ABSENT FROM SCHOOL?
Every student is expected to attend school on a daily basis, the full duration of the day, unless there is valid justification for his/her absence (CA EDC § 48260). Parents are responsible for contacting the Attendance Office to notify us of the reason for absence. If your child is absent from school, please call or send a note to the Attendance Office. The note/email must include:
  • Student's name
  • Date of birth
  • Grade level
  • Date(s) absent
  • Reason for absence
  • Parent name/signature  
*If sending a note, have your student drop it off in the Attendance Office when they return to school.
 
TARDY TO SCHOOL?
District policy states: “Tardies are marked as excused, unexcused or truant. The time that a tardy student arrived is to be documented in every instance.” A student is considered tardy if not in their assigned seat and ready to perform the tasks of the class by the time the tardy bell rings.
  • Students are required to provide a note to their teacher if they are late to class
  • Any unexcused tardy in excess of 30 minutes will be counted toward truancy 
  • Tardies between classes are seen as a behavior issue and could result in detention, parent contact, or behavior contract 
  • Excessive tardies (3+) will affect a student's work habits grade on their report card 
 
If your child is late to school for any reason, please send them with a note. For example, if your child was at a dentist appointment, they should stop at the Attendance Office to turn in their note and receive an excused late pass to class. Student's without a note will not be excused. Tardies of 30 minutes or more without a note count towards truancy. 
 
NEED TO LEAVE EARLY? 
All students must remain on campus the entire day. Students may only leave early if a parent/guardian signs them out in the Attendance Office.
  • All parents must sign out their child in the Attendance Office
  • Parents are required to show identification to the Attendance Clerk and we will only release students to adults listed on the emergency card
  • Parents should make every effort to schedule student's medical appointments outside of regular school hours 
  • Early release will stop 15 minutes from the end of the day in order to minimize disruption
