Attendance

Now that school is in full swing, the attendance office would like to remind all of our parents and guardians of a few things that will assist everyone in ensuring that your students are able to maximize their learning time here at Arroyo Seco.
 
  1. The easiest ways to excuse absences are with a quick phone call to the school @ 661-296-0991 ext. 1109 or send an email to Kelly Wanjon at [email protected]. You can also contact attendance through Parent Square or have your student bring a note directly to the attendance office, not to the Team Teacher.
 
  1. You can also excuse a late arrival for a doctor’s appointment with a note from the doctor’s office brought in with your late student; no need for a parent to come in with your student. 
  2. Prepare for an early pick up with a note brought to the office, an email or phone call in the morning so we can prepare a pass ahead of time. You will need to come in to the office with your ID to pick up your student. If anyone besides a parent is picking up, the attendance office must be notified ahead of time and that person must be listed on the students Emergency Contact List with their contact information. Please remember that students will not be released the final 20 minutes of school as the Campus Supervisors are busy preparing for school dismissal.
  3. After 4-5 days, “Unverified” absences will automatically turn to “Unexcused” absences which may cause an attendance letter to be sent from the district.
  4. Our Parent Square App will inform you if your student has missed or has been tardy for one or more classes. Please feel free to contact the attendance office if you receive a message that you believe is an error, however, if your student was marked absent for one class, you must email that teacher to have the absence removed or changed to tardy.
 
Remember that school starts at 8:00 AM! Please help us to ensure that your child gets to school on time and has their school ID with them ready to scan in and ready to learn!
