ATTENDANCE OVERVIEW

 
As parents, you have the responsibility to make school a #1 priority for your child.  An average absence rate of more than one day per month is considered excessive.  
 
Please call (949-234-5929) or email (makellerman@capousd.org) to report your child's absence.  If you do not call in or email regarding your child's absence, your child must have a note with your signature indicating why your student was absent from school. 
 
If you do not report an absence, or call but do not state the reason for the absence, it will be marked as UNEXCUSED.  You have 72 hours to clear an absence.
 
Please refer to the Protocols tab for a list of what qualifies as excused and unexcused absences.  Additionally, the Protocols tab contains the most recent chart (Student Symptom Decision Tree) that outlines how to proceed when symptoms are present.
