Attendance

The State of California provides by law for compulsory school attendance by all children between the ages of six and sixteen. Parents are responsible for compliance, but the school is obliged to keep accurate records of daily attendance for each student.

If your child is absent from school, call the office at 408-535-6240 ext 38002 to let us know the reason for the absence. If you do not make such a call, office personnel will call your home and work to verify absences.

Absences for reasons other than illness are strongly discouraged. If your child is absent for more than 15 consecutive days, he/she will be dropped from the school roster. You will then have to re-enroll your child at the Enrollment Center. Your child’s position in the program will not be guaranteed.

Tardies

It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children arrive at school on time every day. Any child who is tardy must report to the office for a pass before going to class. When a child is tardy, he/she disrupts the class as he/she walks in late. We will be in close contact with parents of children who are regularly tardy in hopes of changing this unacceptable pattern.
