Attendance

Attendance Hotline 818-952-8339
 
Please call the attendance hotline phone number between 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to report your child’s absence for that day. Please indicate the reason for the absence and the probable duration.
 
Note: If your child has been ill for five or more days, the child must have a doctor’s note to return to school.
 
We ask you to support our efforts to increase student attendance by doing the following:
  1. Allow your child to stay home only when he/she has a contagious illness, has a fever or diarrhea, or is vomiting.
  2.  Schedule doctor appointments for your child outside of school hours. But if there is no other option, please bring your child to school before or after the appointment.
  3. Plan your family vacations during the summer or school holidays.
  4. Contact your child’s teacher or the school office to obtain information regarding missed assignments.
 
Consistent school attendance is to your child’s benefit. For each day students are absent, they get more than two days behind their peers. It is difficult to make up missed learning and catch up with new learning at the same time.
