Attendance and Absences Policy
When a child will be absent, parents must call the school office at (858) 488- 8316 by 9:00 a.m. If the phone call is not possible, please have your child bring a note on the first day of his/her return. Valid absence notes require student's full name, absence date, specific reason for absence and parent's signature. Children who arrive late to school miss valuable classroom time and cause classroom disruption. Please see that your children are on time for school. Please obtain a homework contract for absences of 5 days or more. Homework contracts mean the school district does not lose state funding due to absences.
