EXCUSING AN ABSENCE
All absences must be cleared within 72 hours.  When excusing an absence, please be sure to include the student's name, date of absence, and reason for absence to avoid any delay in excusing the absence.

 

  • 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.

    You can click here to see the California Education Code list of acceptable reasons to excuse an absence. 

 

Pre-Approval Excusal for non-excusable reasons

If your student is going to be absent and it does not fall under one of the excusable reasons, you may complete this form prior to the absence and turn it into the attendance 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
