A navy blue bottom and white uniform top are required and expected at school. Uniforms can be purchased at Target, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Mervyn's, and Dennis Uniform Company. The uniform is strictly enforced.

Regular school attendance is essential for the academic and social development of each child. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that each child is in daily attendance and arrives at school on time. A note from home must follow every absence. The note must be given to the front office. According to state regulations, we must know the reason for the absence. The following reasons are excusable:

• Personal Illness
• Quarantine
• Medical, Dental, Optometrical, or Chiropractic Services
• Funeral Services of a member in the immediate family. Excused absence in this instance shall be limited to one day if the service is conducted in California or three days if the service is conducted out of state. “Immediate family” shall be defined as mother, father, grandmother, grandfathers, spouse, son/son-in-law, daughter/daughter-in-law, brother, sister, or any relative living in the student’s immediate household.
• Spending time with a member of the immediate family who is an active duty member of the uniformed services and has been called to duty for, is on leave from, or has immediately returned from deployment to a combat zone or combat support position.
• Attending the pupil’s naturalization ceremony to become a United States citizen
• Justifiable personal reasons requested in writing and approved by the Principal
• Observation of a holiday or ceremony of her/her religion; Attendance at religious retreats for no more than four hours during a semester; or participation in religious instruction or exercises. 

If any other reason is given for absence, it is considered unexcused.

Promptness to class is very important. Students are to be in line and ready to enter their classroom before 8 am. The teacher will confer with the student after class or after school concerning tardiness. After the fifth tardy, the teacher will refer the student to the Principal. The principal will contact parents for a conference. Students who are late should come to the office before going to class to receive a tardy slip.

If a student becomes too ill to remain in class, a staff member will contact the parents by telephone. Parents must provide an up-to-date telephone number on the application. If your child is ill, please do not send him/her to school. A student who contracts a contagious disease or condition such as pink eye, chicken pox, ringworm, impetigo, or head lice will be sent home from school and must remain at home until the child is healthy and no longer contagious. A doctor’s note is required for the student to return to school.
