Eat Out this Wednesday!
Dear Parents,
Please help us get our Best Attendance trophy back! Our school's academic achievements are on track to qualify VPE for a California Distinguished School Award and we need your help in the area of attendance. If your child already has 10 or more absences, he/she has too many. Please monitor your child's tardies and absences by logging into Aeries or calling our attendance office.
We verify absences on a daily basis. If your child is going to be out, please call our absence line and leave a message. 714-538-9710. Thank you.
Join the Home & School League anytime!
