School Attendance

When students are absent from school, they are missing valuable instructional experiences and lessons that often cannot be made up. When children are out due to illness that can’t be helped and is an excused absence. Some absences can be avoided like doctor and dental appointments.

Many doctors understand the importance of students not being disrupted from their class lessons and will make appointments after school. Generally, if possible, after lunch appointments are less harmful than morning appointments since many of the main subjects are taught in the morning.  

To make up absences, your child can attend Saturday Academy. If you have any questions, please call 831-392-3580.

If your child will be out for 3-14 days, please arrange to have an Independent Study Contract completed through the office at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the absence. More information
