Attendance - (805) 498-0324
It is extremely important for your child to attend school daily and be on time in order to take full advantage of the educational program. If your child is going to be absent from school, we ask that you call the main school office to verify the absence at 498-0324 by 10:00 a.m. You can call before or after school hours and leave a message. Please state your name, student’s name, room number and reason for absence. If you do not call, please send a note with your child when he/she returns to school with the above information. Attendance awards are given to those students who are here daily.

INDEPENDENT STUDY (available for K-5 only) In order to qualify for this the student must be out of school a minimum of “5” school days.

Once approved by student’s teacher, parent must fill out paper work in the Main Office. The work MUST be returned to student’s teacher upon returning to school in order for the student to receive credit and an “Excused” Absence.

| Middle School Absences Vacations are NOT excused absences. If Administrative approval is given at least two weeks prior, teachers may be able to provide an alternative assignment. Only excused absences are students given one day per absence to make up assignments. (see District Policy and Procedures Handbook) PARENTS must call within 72 hours to clear an absence, or the absence will be marked TRUANT. |
| Tardy Students are encouraged to make every effort to be on time. Students who enter the classroom late disrupt the learning environment for others as well as themselves. Only tardiness due to illness or doctor or dental appointments is excused. Late students must report to the main office to obtain admittance to class. |
