Daily Absences:
To report an absence, the parent or guardian must email the school at [email protected] or call the Attendance Office at (858) 800-5550, extension 3021. Please leave a detailed message which includes the reason the student is out.
For each day a child is ill, we must have an email or phone call from a parent or guardian. Absence notes must be turned in to the Attendance Office directly.
Absences Longer than Four Days:
If a student is going to be out for more than four days, a doctor's note is required. If you expect a long absence (more than four days) due to a vacation or other reason, we need two weeks' notice, and your child will need an independent study contract. Please contact the Attendance Office at [email protected] or call the school to request your child's schoolwork.
Independent Study Contracts:
As soon as you know your child will need an independent study contract, you need to contact the attendance office. A packet will be prepared for you and your child to pick up. This packet must be completed and returned to the teachers within five days of your child's return to school, in order to get credit for the days not present at school. If the packet is not returned, the absences will be marked as unexcused and impact our daily attendance rate and your child's missing work will impact their grades.
Core Academy (Saturday School):
Absences and tardies may be made up through our Core Academy. We offer a session each Saturday from 8 am - 12 pm. For each Saturday attended, one full day of absence or four tardies are cleared. Permission slips should be turned in the Friday before each session but will be accepted the morning of, if space is available.
