Call (760)630-7884 ext. 1 to report absences.

REPORTING AN ABSENCE

Include the following information when reporting your student's absence:

• Date of the absence

• Your child's name

• Grade

• Reason for the absence

• Your name, relation to the student and a call back number

 

VERIFYING A PAST ABSENCE

Parents/Guardians have 72 hours (3 school days) to notify the school with the reason for the absence and to turn in any medical verification for medical appointments.

Any student with 10 excused absences  will be required to provide a written explanation for all future absences. This verification must be written by the appropriate professional on his/her letterhead, addressing the medical, and legal or bereavement reason. Medical & dental notes may be emailed to missionmeadowses@vistausd.org.

 

PICK UP PROCEDURES

When picking up student make sure that you bring a government issued ID. Students will ONLY be released to their parent/guardian unless prior arrangements have been made.

If anyone other than the student's custodial parent is picking up a student early, he or she will need to be listed as an emergency contact in our student database. The custodial parent must call in advance notifying the office as to which emergency contact will be picking up the student and the date and time of that pick-up. Custodial parents may add individuals to their child's emergency contact list by visiting the office or through Parent Portal.

Please note that emergency contacts do not have permission to excuse absences, tardies, or release students from campus. They are notified only in the event that your child has an emergency and parent/ guardian cannot be reached.
