Attendance

In accordance with Senate Bill 98, we will be taking attendance daily during the live synchronous sessions.

Middle and High School Attendance Information

For middle and high school IVA, if your student is not able to attend class, please report the absence to our attendance line (949) 936-7400 and follow the prompts to leave a message. Additionally, each evening our automated system will send you a message regarding an absence and you can respond through the message system with the reason.

This year teachers are able to change an absence to "engaged" when a student completes the missed work for a class meeting. A student should communicate with the teacher through office hours regarding this and a teacher will submit the change to the office. Please provide us a few days to complete this after a student has contacted the teacher and completed the work.
