Attendance is important! We strongly encourage all vacations and appointments to be scheduled around school days/times. However, we understand...life happens!

If your student is going to be absent, please inform the front office using one of the below methods:

• Doyle Elementary Attendance Reporting form : this can be found on our school website - just scroll down on the homepage and click "Report an Absence"
• Call the front office at 619-605-4500 and select Option 2 for Ms. Venus in Attendance.
• Email us at doylelm@sandi.net
• Message us at ClassDojo School

Arrival:

• If you have questions or comments, please make sure you are reaching out to the teacher via Dojo or email to schedule some time to meet. Teachers are unable to meet in the morning at arrival.
• All students/families should be entering through Dolphin Drive to line up on the blacktop (or UTK/K to class) unless your student is having breakfast at the school cafeteria.
• Breakfast ends promptly at 7:38 am. If your student plans to have breakfast, please make sure they are arriving to school well before 7:38 am.
• Families and students in grades 1-5 should not be walking through the quad to get to class. When finished with breakfast, students should follow the path along the field to get to the blacktop.

Dismissal:

• All students in grades 2-5 line up on the blacktop at the end of the day.
• Students who communicate with teachers that they walk home or meet you at the traffic circle, will be dismissed by the teacher.
• The only students who should be picked up from the classrooms are Kinder & 1st grade. All other students are dismissed from the blacktop.
• Picking up your student from the class line while walking to the blacktop creates significant confusion and concern when teachers do not see you. Please make sure you are picking up from the blacktop.

Attendance matters, but so does your students health! Check out the district recommendations on when to keep students home:
