Report an Absence

Clearing Absences

Absences must be excused within 5 school days. Only same-day tardies will be excused unless a Dr. note is provided. 
Parents or Guardians may excuse absences and same day tardies several ways: 
    • Call the 24 hour Attendance Hotline: (714) 893-1381 Ext. 52031
      and leave a voicemail with:
      • Student’s name
      • Student  I.D. #
      • Reason for the absence
      • Dates your student was absent
      • Parent/guardian name
    • Respond to the absence notification received through ParentSquare
 

Checking In/Out

If your student needs to leave campus early, please email or call the Attendance office and a check out slip will be sent to the student’s class.  If your student will be arriving late to school, please call or email the Attendance office to excuse the absence/tardy the same day. 
 

Leaving Campus

Students who are permitted to leave early by the Attendance Office or Health Office during regular school hours must show their ID card or check out slip to a campus supervisor or administrator prior to exiting campus grounds.
 

School Health Office

If your student is on campus and is not feeling well, they must request a pass from their teacher to go to the Health Office.  The Nurse will determine if a student is too ill to remain at school.  If the student is too ill to stay at school, the Nurse will then contact a parent or guardian to arrange pick up.  ***Please do not pick your student up if they text or call you and say they aren’t feeling well. They must check out through the health office or it will be considered an unexcused absence.
