Student Attendance

Attendance

If a child is absent, you can call the school and leave the information over the phone @ (562) 789-7076, email us at [email protected] or write a note. Excuses must include the following information: student’s first and last name, date/s of absence/s, reason for absence. Please note that the only excused absences are for: (1) the student being ill, (2) medical appointments for the student with a doctor’s note, and (3) attending the funeral of a pupil’s immediate family. Please make sure the note indicates the relationship of the child to the person whose funeral he/she is attending. Any other reasons for absences will show as unexcused. It is the parent’s responsibility to clear an absence as soon as possible. The office is not able to change absence codes after 2 weeks. Students are considered tardy when they arrive later than 8:10. If you need to take an extended absence, please call the office to see if you qualify for an Independent Study, which will provide your child work and absences will not reflect negatively on our attendance records. Please clear your students absence within one week from the absence.
