In Fountain Valley School District, student success starts with consistent attendance. To help your child excel at school, ensure they attend at least 96% of the school year—that’s a maximum of 8 absences during a 180-day school year. Missing just one day per month can put your child at a disadvantage compared to peers who are consistently present.

Reporting an Absence

If your child will be absent, notify the school promptly using one of the following methods:

• Email: [email protected]
  (This can be done 24 hours a day.)
• Call the Office: (714) 378-4230
  Office hours begin at 7:30 A.M.

Be sure to include the following information when reporting an absence:

• Child’s Name
• Teacher’s Name
• Date of Absence
• Reason for Absence
• Name of Person Providing Information and Relationship to the Child

Important Notes

• Absences must be reported within two days of a child's absence.
• Absences without a parent notification or written excuse are recorded as unexcused.
• To have absences for religious holidays excused, they must be reported before the date of the absence.
• If you want homework, please email the teacher directly. Refer to the Staff Directory for teacher emails.
