Attendance and Tardy Procedures

Absence & Tardy

If your child will be absent or late to school, call the 24-hour attendance/tardy line at 650-620-2812 and leave the following information:

Student’s first and last name
Teacher’s name/room
Your name and relationship to the child
Reason for absence/tardiness:
- If absent, advise if the absence will be for more than one day
- If tardy, include approximate arrival time at school

If you child arrives after the 8:25 tardy bell, they should report to the office for a tardy slip before going to class. If your child is going to be later than 8:30am, a call to the Attendance Line is required (see above).

If you know in advance that your child will be absent, please send a note to child’s teacher and the office. Without this, absences must be called in daily.

Sick Absences for 5 or more consecutive days: If your child is out sick for 5 or more consecutive days, we require a doctors note upon their return to school in order to count the absences as excused.
Travel Absences: Absences due to travel are considered unexcused. Please note that we do not offer independent study options for students traveling.
Extended Unexcused Absences: Students with more than 10 consecutive days of unexcused absences may be unenrolled and will need to re-enroll upon their return. Placement in the same school or classroom cannot be guaranteed when re-enrolling.
