REPORTING AN ABSENCE

In order to keep accurate attendance data please help us by:

1. Calling Ms. Perales, 408-347-6291, if your student will be absent. If you are sent to voicemail, please leave the following information:

• Student’s name and ID # or Birth Date

• Date of absence

• Reason of absence

Note: Please rest assured that if you leave a voicemail we will clear the absence as soon as possible but always within 48 hours.  

2. If you are taking your student out of school for a doctor, dental or personal appointment, please call us at least two hours in advance when possible.  

• We will make sure that your student has the appropriate attendance pass to leave campus. Once the student has a pass, your student can meet you at a place designated by you or your student is welcomed to wait for you in the attendance office. 

•  If your student is being picked up by an adult other than the legal guardian please call us in advance or send a note with your student to the attendance office.  If that adult is not in our system, we will have to speak with you over the phone to get clearance and the person must have an I.D.

3. If your student should become ill while at school:

• If in class, the student must ask the teacher for a pass before leaving class.  Your student should report to the Main Office, Ms. Perales. . She will contact the legal guardian to make arrangements for the student to be picked up.  

Note: If it is not an emergency, the health clerk will not accept a student without a pass from the teacher.

• For your student's safety, if your student should call you directly because he or she is ill, please refer your student to step 3. Please DO NOT pick up your student without going through the health clerk office; we cannot excuse absences after the student has left without a pass.
