REPORTING AN ABSENCE
To report an absence please call: (760) 631-4500 ext.64008
Leave a message and be sure to include the following:
When a student returns to school following an absence, the parent/guardian has 72 hours (3 school days) to notify the school with the reason for the absence and to turn in any medical verification for medical appointments. Any student with 10 excused absences verified by phone calls will be required to provide a written explanation for all future absences. This verification must be written by the appropriate professional on his/her letterhead, addressing the medical, and legal or bereavement reason. Medical & dental notes may be faxed to 760-643-2490.
IMPROVEMENTS TO SCHOOL SAFETY PROCEDURES
There is nothing more important to us as a district than the safety of our school communities, and to improve in this area, our district has implemented changes to district board and to the administrative policy. To ensure the smooth implementation of these changes, we believe it is important to communicate at both the district and site levels, so this is the one of several communications about this topic as we move toward implementing these changes.
Our District-wide emphasis on school safety includes the following:
- Before and after school, only students and staff will be allowed inside the campus perimeter.
- Parents can access staff, as they normally would, via the scan of a government-issued id to sign in/sign out procedure in the office for meetings and other routine needs.
- While in session, school perimeters will be secure and locked.
- During arrival and dismissal, open gate areas will be supervised.
- Employees will wear their employee badges.
