Attendance & early pickup

Report absences in ParentSquare

Log in to ParentSquare, open your Home Page, scroll to the bottom, and select the “ATTENDANCE” tab to report an absence. Attach doctor’s notes or other absence documents there. Health/Attendance Clerk Char Olson receives these reports daily.

You can also call 714-628-4326. For early pickup, contact Char Olson that morning so your child can be ready in the office. Schedule appointments after school when possible.
