REMINDER: Parents, please check your child's backpack to ensure they are not bringing unnecessary or valuable items to school. There is no insurance to replace lost, damaged, or stolen items. Toys, Pokémon cards, and school supplies are not permitted. We will provide everything they need for their school day.
ATTENDANCE – The California Education Code requires all students to attend school daily. To ensure your child receives the best education, please ensure they attend school every day and on time. If your child is absent, a note verifying their absence must be sent to the teacher upon their return. We require a doctor's note if your child is absent three or more consecutive days or if they visit the doctor.
Additionally, the district makes automated calls when your child is late, absent, or leaves early. We have no control over these calls, as the information is captured daily at 8:30 a.m. by the attendance program.
