Clear an Absence

To clear an absence for a student, please do one of the following within three days:

  1. Email the office at lisaghoolian@gusd.net
  2. Call the school at 818-242-3747 during school hours
  3. Leave a message at 818-242-3747 ext. 1109 after 4:00 p.m. and before 7:30 a.m.

If the reason for absence is an illness, please specify the illness type (cold, fever, sore throat, etc.)

According to state law, the only excused absences are for illness, medical treatment, bereavement, religious holidays, and some legal commitments. Family vacations or personal business are considered unexcused reasons for absence.

Teachers are not required to provide makeup work for unexcused absences.
