QUICK GUIDE

What do I do if my student will be absent or late?

Preferred: Fill out the Absence Reporting Form online.  (En español también)

OR

Call Ms. Patino (see contact information to right)

Only a PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN that is listed in AERIES can excuse absences.  Even if your student is 18 years old!

No hand-written notes will be accepted.

How does my student leave during school time for a pre-scheduled appointment, etc.?

Please report this on the Absence Reporting Form (English & español).  It is the student’s responsibility to get a Permit to Leave as early as possible during non-class time before leaving (with a note or phone call).  We do NOT interrupt classes for pre-scheduled appointments.  If a student leaves without a permit the absence will not be excused.

How quickly do I need to clear an absence before it becomes a truancy mark?       

48 hours.  Attendance records cannot be altered after 2 weeks.

Aeries tracks your student’s attendance and is updated regularly by teachers every day.  Guardians will get an automatic phone call every afternoon for any/all class periods your student is marked absent for on that day.

Whom do I talk to about my student’s truancy? 

Contact your student’s Counselor or Assistant Principal
