Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school.   Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.

There are three (3) ways a parent/guardian can notify the school about a student's absence:

Notes can be dropped off or faxed to 925-779-7461

 Items to include in your notification:  

- your child's name
