***If your child is absent please make sure to contact the office. We appreciate many of you reaching out to teachers directly, however, our office team also needs this information. You can inform the office in two ways-
1. there is a new link to report absences for this year- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeGR3yL-VOnSJtpVFtbar-5YY_PSQXjHkYAnNIXTOMeGRpfA/viewform or go through the "Report an Absence" icon on the website for the site to be properly notified.
You can also call 1(562)430-1250, but the above two options are preferred.
Newcomb Updates- Please no food deliveries
Please do not have fast food delivered or dropped off in the office. This creates problems for our office staff. The food also attracts ants. In rare cases food is picked up be the wrong person. We do not have the staffing to monitor items left in the office. If a student forgets their lunch, all students have access to a free breakfast and lunch in the Cafeteria. Thanks for your help with this.
