ABSENCE POLICY:
If your child is going to be absent from school please call 949-234-5300. Please state your name, your child's name, their teacher or grade level and the reason for the absence. If you are unable to call you may also email, Heidi LaBrie at helabrie@capousd.org If you are not able to do either please have your child bring a note the first day they return to school stating why your child was absent. District Policy States: Absences can only be excused within 72 hours. If we have not received a call, e-mail or letter within 72 hours your child's absence will be unexcused.
Unexcused absences are all absences that do not meet the following criteria listed in the California Education Code. The criteria which allow for excused absences are:
- an illness, medical or dental need (a doctor’s note may be required);
- the funeral of an immediate family member;
- a justifiable personal reason when the student’s excused absence has been requested in writing in advance and has been approved by the principal or the principal’s designated representative.
