Absences
-
We encourage you to DOWNLOAD the HUERTA APP on the App store & Google Play. You may easily report absences this way. You may also phone in to report your student out on the day of the absence. Absences must be reported for each day that your student is out of school. You may request homework by emailing the teacher. Please see our staff directory under School Information. All absences must be cleared within three days of return to school.
If your student is out more than fourteen days total for the year a doctor’s note will be required for each additional absence in order for it to be excused.

Delivering Items to Students
-
Did your student forget something he/she needs? You may bring in what needs to be delivered, ex: glasses, homework, projects, books, etc. and fill out the pink slip on the counter in attendance. We will send the pink slip out to your child who will pick up the item during passing period.
Daily lunch deliveries are strongly discouraged as we do not have the office staff to deliver lunches to students. Please send a lunch with your student or deposit funds into your student's account via the district website https://family.titank12.com/3WRGPD
If lunches are left on the counter, we cannot guarantee a student will get the lunch, unless you've advised them before school to come and look for it. ADDITIONALLY, MEAL DELIVERY SERVICES (such as UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash, etc) ARE NOT ALLOWED AT OUR SCHOOLS. This is a DISTRICT POLICY, so please do not have food dropped off for your students through any delivery services, and do not allow your student to order it on their own. We appreciate your support of this policy.
FAQ
-
When do I need to send a doctor’s note?
If your child will need a PE excuse for longer than three days you will need a doctor’s note. Also, if your child has exceeded 14 days of absences due to illness for the year you will need a doctor’s note for each additional day your student is out. A doctor's note is also required if your student needs to attend an appointment during the school day.

If my child will be leaving school early, what do I need to do?
Please send a note with your student to the attendance office in the morning before school. We will give your student a pass so they will be waiting for you in the office. In the event of an emergency please call the office (818)558-4622, ATTENDANCE OPTION and give us 30 minutes so we can have your student in the office waiting for you.
Unless you have given us prior notification, you will be unable to pick up your child between the hours of:12:00 -12:55 Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri & 11:40- 12:35 Tues
