Absent/Tardy

Parents/guardians must notify the school office each day their student is absent or late. To report a daily absence or tardy, please use the Absence/Tardy Form pinned to the top of the ParentSquare feed. The form is also accessible via:

🔗 Absence/Tardy Form
https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/54838122 

We strongly encourage all parents to create a ParentSquare account and use the ParentSquare mobile app for ease and convenience. If your student is absent for multiple consecutive days, you must report the absence each day they are out.

Reporting Planned Absences of Three or More Days

For absences of three or more days (e.g., family travel), parents must submit a Report of Planned Absence Form via the CUSD website:

Health-Related Absences

Please refer to the CUSD Health Guidelines when determining whether your child should stay home from school due to illness. These guidelines provide clear criteria for:

  • When students should remain at home due to illness
  • When students may be sent home if they show symptoms of a contagious or infectious disease

These practices align with California Education Code sections 48211 and 48212, which help ensure the health and safety of all students and staff.

Arriving Late or Leaving During the Day

  • If a student arrives after the start of the school day, they must report to the front office for a late slip before going to class.
  • For mid-day doctor’s appointments, students may be picked up ahead of time and return after the appointment.
    • Please submit a doctor’s note or confirmation (including a screenshot or email) within five days of the absence.

Religious Observances

Absences for religious instruction or exercises may be considered excused. To receive an excused absence for a religious event, a written request must be submitted in advance to the school. Absences not pre-approved will be recorded as unexcused.

For full details, please review the CUSD Attendance Policies and Guidelines on the District website.
