This year all of the "first day packet" information will be collected through Alma, our new student information system. This process has been made available to parents now and we ask that parents complete this task as soon as possible so we have current information.

Important Information
- โ๏ธ Attendance - Help your student build positive attendance routines by ensuring they attend school every day they possibly can and arrive on time. When students are tardy, they miss learning time and cause a disruption when entering the classroom.
- ๐ฐ Extra Curricular Activities - We have flyers in the office for a variety of extra curricular activities. Stop by and take a look to see if there is something that may be of interest to your student.
- ๐ด Buckeye Food Services - Information regarding Food Services can be viewed here.
- ๐ Birthday Marquee - Interested in celebrating your child's birthday with marquee recognition or library book donation? Ask the office for more information on these birthday celebrations.
Attendance Questions Answered
1. What is considered an Excused Absence?
By law [EC ยง 48205], excused absences are: illness [(fever 100ยฐ or more, persistent runny nose (not allergy related), vomiting, diarrhea, medical/dental appointments (doctorโs note required for verification)], death in the family, specific religious reasons, required appearance in court, and exclusion from school for contagious disease.
2. What can I do if my child needs to be out of school for a length of time?
If your child must go out of town for three (3) or more days, you may request that your child is signed up for an Independent Study Contract. Please note that teachers need at least one weekโs notice in order to prepare materials without interrupting their instructional time.
3. I called in to verify my child's absence; why am I still getting truancy letters?
Unless the absence was for an excused reason (those stated in point #1), the absence is considered unexcused and truancy letters will be sent in accordance with Education Code of the State of California [EC ยง 48260-48273]. Ed Code states that any pupil who is absent from school for 3 days or more without a valid excuse (reasons specified in point #1), or tardy in excess of 30 minutes or more, is considered truant.
