Attendance

California law requires that all children ages 6-18 be enrolled in full-time education. Attending school helps students learn, build relationships, and develop social-emotional well-being. We encourage families to schedule medical and dental appointments after school when possible. Absences must be verified within five school days, otherwise will be considered unexcused.

Arriving at school on time is important. When students arrive late, important instruction is missed. Students are considered tardy if they are not in class by 7:55 a.m. each day. Students who are late to school must report to the office and receive a tardy slip before going to their classroom.

Absence Verification Process

Verification of absences will only be accepted from doctors, other medical professionals, and parents/guardians by note, email, phone, or other electronic means. To report an absence, please call 408-287-6368.

Students who leave school for appointments during their regular class periods must check out through the office. Please call in advance to excuse these appointments.

Absence Tracking

We encourage parents/guardians to monitor their student's attendance in Infinite Campus by logging into Parent Portal. Parents/guardians will also receive daily attendance notices through ParentSquare if a student has one or more unexcused class absences.

Contact Information

Please report changes in address, phone number/s, and the names of those who can pick up your child in case of an emergency to the school office as soon as possible. It is extremely important that we are able to reach parents quickly in the event of an emergency.
