Please call your absent student in by 9:30am the same day he/she is out. If there is no call from you, your student needs a hand written parent note for their readmit. When we have a high rate of absences, the line for readmits is extra long and having the correct records will make the line go faster. The students need to be in their classroom seat 1st block by the second bell or a detention is issued by our office. To contact the Attendance office, call (949) 766-6020. Thank you for your understanding. |
