Absences
Principals and teachers are responsible for checking the
regular attendance of all students. Every absence must be recorded on the
attendance register and record. Elementary schools record absences according to
the instruction on the Student Attendance Register. When a student is absent from school for any reason, a
parent or legal guardian must call the Health Office (340-1924) between 8:15
a.m. and 8:45 a.m. to give the reason for the absence each day the student is
away from school.
In addition to calling the school health office to report
an absence, the State of California requires a written excuse signed by the
parent or legal guardian. This
note, which is required for re-admission to class, must state the reason for
the absence, as well as the date(s) when the student was not in school. If a student is absent three or more
days, a doctor’s note is required.
