Attendance

6 things you should know about attendance:

1. All absences require an excuse note. NO matter the reason.
2. You have 3 days to send an excuse note to school after your child has been absent.
3. Arriving late or leaving early hurts your child's academic performance.
4. Your child is considered truant when they have 10 or more unexcused absences.
5. We are here to help. Contact your child's school if you have trouble getting to school on time.
6. You can view the district's full attendance policy.

Students are expected to be in class and seated by 8:00 a.m. Students are considered tardy at 8:10 a.m.

Tips to submitting an absence excuse note

• The note should include the date, your child's full name, ID number, reason for absence, a signature, and parent phone number.
• For hospitalizations or doctor appointments, submit an official excuse from the doctor or nurse. Speak to the administrator regarding special circumstances.
• The note should be submitted within 3 days of an absence to the data clerk, Jasmine Estrada. Parents may also submit absence notes through Skyward.

Partial day absences

Students are required to attend school from the time the school day begins until the time the school day ends. A partial day absence occurs when a student is not present for part of the school day.

A student that arrives late or leaves early will get a partial absence.

The school will decide whether the partial absence is excused or unexcused using the same standards used in determining the status of full-day absences.

Monitor attendance

Students and parents can monitor attendance records in Skyward. See Student attendance in Skyward for details. If you have questions about a specific absence, contact the data clerk, Jasmine Estrada.

Campus Improvement Plan

A Campus Improvement Plan serves as the blueprint for how a campus will address performance objectives and other campus needs that have been identified from a Campus Needs Assessment.

Title 1

The Campus Parent Involvement Policy explains how our campus supports the important role of parents in the education of their children. We offer a Parent Compact to establish a partnership among parents, school staff, and students for improving student academic achievement.
