We check on each absent child to make sure they are safe at home or that you know they are not in school. If your child is marked absent and we haven’t received a voicemail from you by 8:15 we must call to verify and that can take up a great deal of our morning. So please help us by leaving a voice mail message (at 619-574-6225) by 8:15 if your child will be absent on a given day. Also, remember that the gates close at 8:10. Please be on time so your child doesn’t miss out on the best learning hours of the day. Thanks!
