Covid guidelines as of 1/2024

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued new COVID-19 Isolation Guidance this month, which applies to all staff and students in public schools. Below is a link to the guidance, which moves away from five days of isolation and instead focuses on clinical symptoms to determine when to end isolation. We will update this information if protocols change.

 

2024-2025 Bell Schedule

Permit to Leave

If you wish to request a Permit to Leave for your student, please call the Attendance Office at least two hours ahead of the desired release time.  This will allow your student to be waiting for you and avoid unnecessary delays. 

Failing to call ahead for a Permit to Leave can delay the release of your student and will increase the level of disruption to the classroom learning environment. 

Be aware if your student is in PE, it could take up to 20 minutes to notify them and allow them to change clothes. The Permit to Leave number is (925) 682-7670, ext. 4444.

Important Announcement Regarding Permit to Leave

Parents, please urge your student to come into the Attendance Office if they are feeling ill and would like permission to go home.  Students should not be using their cell phones to call and make these arrangements.  If the student comes into Attendance and the attendance secretary speaks with a parent, the student will be waiting for them in the front of the school.  It will save time.

If your student leaves school for an appointment or they are ill and they do not obtain a Permit to Leave, they will be considered truant, even if a parent calls after the fact to clear the absence.  College Park is a closed campus and students MUST have a Permit to Leave in order to leave campus.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Permanent RTI Schedule (Period 7)

We have started our permanent RTI schedule during block days on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For scheduling purposes, this RTI period is labeled Strategic Support and is considered period 7. If you receive a phone call that your child was absent during period 7, this means your child was marked absent for RTI that day. ​If your child believes this was an error, please have them come to the attendance office for an attendance correction slip the following day.

Attendance Procedures

All absences should be reported by phone, email or written note. Our phone system is available 24 hours a day. Absences must be reported within 72 hours or students will be considered truant, as described in our Tardy and Truancy Policy.

A doctor's note must be submitted to the attendance office after 3 days of sick leave.

TO CLEAR AN ABSENCE

Email the Attendance Secretary or call (925) 682-7670, ext. 3333 to report the absence.

Please speak slowly and give the following information:

  • Name of student, spelling the last name
  • Person calling and relationship to student
  • Date of absence (specify all day or the period missed)
  • Reason for absence
  • Phone number where you can be reached
 
PERMISSION TO LEAVE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY

Students who need to leave during the school day must have a Permit to Leave, otherwise the absence will be considered truant. A parent cannot clear/excuse the absence after the fact. If you have an emergency and need to pick up your student, come to the attendance office with your photo identification.

Call (925) 682-7670 at any time (open 24 hours) and enter extension 4444 for a PERMIT TO LEAVE.

Please speak slowly and give the following information:

  • Name of student and spelling of the last name
  • Reason (i.e., doctor, dentist, family emergency, etc.)
  • Person calling and relationship to student
  • Date and time student needs to leave
  • How the student will leave school and/or who will pick up the student
  • Your phone number

Please allow two (2) hours' notice when calling for a same day permit. If less than 2 hours, call 682-7670 x3213 to speak to the Attendance Secretary.

If you come into the Attendance Office needing your student right away, please understand that it may take some time, especially if your student is in PE, it is an unusual schedule or we are short staffed with TA’s.  Thank you for your understanding.
