Frequently Asked Questions

To report an absence, please call the school at 619-788-4668 and press option #2, or email the absence notification to [email protected].

Extended absences are highly discouraged. Classroom experiences with teachers and classmates are extremely valuable; student learning depends heavily on the group experience and on coaching from teachers. When extended absence is unavoidable for families, teacher(s) and administration should be notified of absences of 3 or more days prior to the scheduled leave. Please email the school administration to arrange for approval and submission of an Independent Study Contract. Please notify the staff at least one week in advance.

To excuse a late arrival/early dismissal for a doctor/dentist appointment, please submit the doctor's note to our [email protected].
