Welcome to the attendance page. We have designed our attendance policies to be in alignment with the California Education Code, with the best interest and safety of your students at the forefront, while maintaining professional expectations in our office. We appreciate that all of our parents understand that we may require written notification as a safeguard for all of our students. In the event that your son or daughter is absent without your knowledge, you will appreciate the added precautions that we have built into our policies.
