- If there is an error in your student's attendance, it is your student's responsibility to address the matter with their teacher and have the teacher contact the attendance office to make corrections.
- When picking up your student early, or calling the office to have your student excused, please allow up to 20 minutes for your student to be brought to the office.

If you would like to leave a message for the attendance office for any other reason, please call and leave a voice message on our Attendance Line: (209) 836-7461
