Attendance, Tardies & Reporting Student Absences

Regular school attendance is critical to academic success for children.  Arriving at school on time and ready to learn teaches a strong work ethic as wel as builds responsibility.  However, children should be kept home when they are ill.  Ample time will be provided for them to make up any work that is missed.

A Call-in Sick program is provided at Viejo Elementary School.  Please leave a recorded message at 582-9357 when children are absent from school.  Pupils are excused if absent because of illness.  If a child is tardy (is not in class line by 7.45 am bell) he/she must check in through the front office before being admitted to class.  frequent tardies without a valid excuse is considered truancy under the law.  Students with continued tardies and/or unexcused absences will be referred to the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for disciplinary action.

Parent Involvement

Parents play a vital role in making Viejo Elementary School a success. During Back to School Night, teachers will discuss the many ways parents can be involved in their child's education.  We rely heavily on parents to assist us both inside and outside the classroom and at home.  Viejo Elementary School maintains an active PTA.  Ongoing opportunities are made available to help plan our many school events.  All parents are invited and encouraged to join the PTA and to attend the meetings on alternate months beginning in September.

Lunch Program

School lunches may be purchased for $1.75 each.  Cookies and milk may be purchased separately.  Free and reduced lunch applications are sent to parents of all CUSD students in the first day packets.  Parents are encouraged to prepay lunches for their child to help avoid lost lunch money and other mishpas. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 90 lunches can be purchased at one time.
