Attendance Information
Reporting Your Child’s Absence
California State Law requires that absence verification be made by a parent/guardian within 72 hours by sending a note to school or calling the attendance office at (714) 431-1800. School staff are available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. You may leave a message if the call is placed before or after school hours. Please provide the following information:
- Student’s name – first and last
- Spelling of student’s last name
- Date(s) of absence(s)
- Reason for absence (illness, dentist appointment, etc.)
- Caller’s name and relation to student (parent, guardian, etc.)
- Phone number where the caller can be reached that day
Absences may be excused only by the parent/guardian listed on the student’s registration form. Please keep the school informed of any changes in parent/guardian conditions.
The following reasons are the only excusable absences outlined in the California Education Code:
- Doctor, dental or optical appointments (note required)
- Court appointments (documentation required)
- Minor illness
- Funerals (parent, sibling, or grandparent) – note required one day in advance
Please note that missing the bus, oversleeping, visiting with a relative, family vacations, funerals for friends or distant relatives, car issues or a flat tire, etc. are not excusable absences.
Students should not come to school when ill, and/or if they have a fever or any COVID-19 symptoms. If a student becomes ill or injured at school, he/she must ask for a pass from the teacher and report to the office before leaving campus. Office staff will obtain parent/guardian permission for the student to leave school. No student will be allowed to leave campus due to illness without parent/guardian's permission.
