Attendance Procedures

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.
