Attendance

Parentsquare will notify every parent of a student with one or more unverified absence for that day. Please respond to the parentsquare message or call the attendance line to verify and/or excuse the absence. You only have three (3) days to excuse the absence.

The attendance office can be reached at (510) 818-4300 Press 1     .
