You are required to sign the Attendance Notification form following this information sheet and turn it in at Schedule Pick- up.

1)If your student is absent all day: Call the 24- Hour Attendance Line at 916-971-7972. Please say the following information clearly and slowly

  1. YOU MUST HAVE THE STUDENT ID NUMBER
  2. Your name and relation to the student
  3. The student(s) name- spell the First and Last Name
  4. The date and reason for the absence

2)For Early Dismissals or Tardies: Call 916-971-7459. This number is NOT for all – day absences.

  1. Early dismissals will not be given the last 20 minutes of the school day- NO EXCEPTIONS
  2. You MUST call 30 minutes ahead for Non- Emergency Early Dismissals
  3. Please call or send a note with your student if they will be late to school
  4. If a student is late less than 30 minutes, the student must verify their tardy with their teacher.
  5. If a student is more than 30 minutes late for their first period, you must call 916-971-7459 before the student arrives. Alternatively, you may send a note with the student.

3)Chronic Illness- if a student is diagnosed with a chronic illness, there is a form you must get from the Attendance Office. The form requires the treating physician to verify the diagnosis and list the symptoms that would not necessitate an office visit, but requires the student to remain home from school.

  1. A new Chronic Illness form must be filled out and returned to the Attendance Office Each Year
  2. The Attendance Office will only accept the ORIGINAL DOCUMENT ONLY. Scans, faxes, and photo copies will NOT be accepted.
  3. Once a students has a form on file with the Attendance office, any time a student misses a single period or more due to chronic illness, a WRITTEN NOTE must be submitted to the Attendance Office within FIVE DAYS of the absence.

4)Off Campus Violations for Early Dismissals- Any student who leaves campus without an Early Dismissal slip from the Attendance Office will be marked as a Cut.

  1. The Early Dismissal must be taken care of before the student leaves campus.
  2. Parents cannot for any reason, call or send a note to dismiss the student after the student has left campus. This is an Off- Campus Violation, therefore a CUT.

5)District Sent Letters or Phone calls for Missed Periods- When you receive a phone call (please listen to the entire message) or letter from the District stating your student has missed one or more class periods, direct your student to do the following:

  1. Student is to come to the Attendance office and request an Attendance Print out
  2. Student takes the print out to the teacher who recorded the absence (the missed period will be circled for clarification)
  3. After the teacher makes the correction, the student brings the printout back to the Attendance Office to have the error corrected. **Please note- it is at the teacher’s discretion to change the absence**

6)You Have Only FIVE DAYS to clear Absences

  1. To prevent accidental cuts, please check your Parent Portal weekly to ensure any and all absences have been cleared for the week including single period, full, or partial day absences.

7)Personal Access Codes for Parent Portal

  1. To get your personal Parent Portal Access Code (if you do not have one already) please contact the Mira Loma High School Counseling Office
  2. This access will enable you (the parent) to track your student’s grades and attendance.
