Attendance & Absences

Report an Absence or Tardy

We're here to help!

Call (707) 994-2272 x2511

Important: Please contact us on the day of the absence or send a note when your child returns to school. This helps us keep accurate records!

Why Attendance Matters

Regular school attendance is required by law and is essential for your child's academic success. Research shows that students with good attendance perform better academically, develop stronger social connections, and are more likely to graduate.

Excused Absences

  • Illness
  • Medical appointments
  • Dental appointments

Note: Excused absences still count toward attendance records

Unexcused Absences

  • No parent contact made
  • No note provided
  • Non-qualifying reasons

These can affect participation in school activities.

Parent Responsibility

Important: If the school is not contacted by the parent, the absence or tardy will be marked as "unexcused." An unexcused absence because a parent forgets to call or does not follow up will remain unexcused on the student's record.

This can be frustrating when attendance records later prevent your student from attending school activities or functions. To avoid this, please keep the school informed of any attendance issues immediately. It is the parent's responsibility to ensure children attend school and maintain proper attendance.

Tardiness Policy

School starts at 8:15 AM. Please help your child arrive on time every day!

If Your Student is Tardy

  1. Arrive After the Bell
    Students who arrive after 8:15 AM are considered tardy and must report to the office.
  2. Get a Tardy Slip
    The office will issue a tardy slip for the student to bring to class.
  3. Join Class
    The student can then join their classroom with minimal disruption.
