According to California State law, a student returning to school after an absence must have a written excuse from the parent/guardian at the beginning of the next school day. If a student returns to school without a note, they will be sent to the office to make a call to remind the parent to send a note the next day. On the third day of being absent the child must bring a doctor's note. A parent can write a note on regular paper as long as it is dated and signed and explains the reason for the absence. No notes will be accepted by fax or email.
