    ABSENCES

    All absences must be cleared within five days by a phone call or email from a parent/guardian. Parents will be notified by the auto dialer each evening whenever a student is reported absent from one or more periods. Parents may clear absences using 971-5002, the 24-hour attendance line, or by emailing BellaVistaAbsence@sanjuan.edu from the address registered in the Parent Portal. If unaware of the absence, parents should call the Attendance Office at 971-5040 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to speak to an attendance clerk. Absences not cleared within five school days automatically roll over to truancies.  Parents should always contact the Attendance Office for each reported absence, even if they think it is in error.

     ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION

    Students and parents can view attendance on the parent portal at all times, and should review it together (https://sis.sanjuan.edu/parentportal). Single period absences need to be cleared as well as all day absences. The forms to make corrections are available for students in the Attendance Office. Teachers must verify that there was an error on their attendance sheets.

     

    CHANGE OF ADDRESS

    Parents need to report immediately any change of address, telephone number or emergency care information, e.g., doctor or health plan, to San Juan Central Enrollment (916) 726-5826. This is important in case of an emergency.  Changes to telephone numbers of emergency care can be updated through the school site main office.

     

    EARLY DISMISSALS

    To leave campus anytime during the day, a student must have an Early Dismissal (ED). A student must bring a parent/guardian note to the Attendance Office before 8:00 a.m. A student with an ED returning to school the same day must report to the Attendance Office upon return. “After the fact” parent permission is not legally permissible. A student who leaves school without an ED is Truant and in violation of the closed campus policy.
