Change of Address

If your address changes, please provide the Registrar with a copy of a utility bill as proof of your new address.

Attendance Discrepancies

For discrepancies (errors) in your student's attendance, we ask THE STUDENT/PARENT to contact his/her teacher for correction. The Attendance Specialist is not able to make any corrections without teacher approval. The teacher accounts for whether or not the student is present or absent in class.

If a substitute teacher marks students absent in class, the attendance can not be changed unless a teacher or an administrator can verify their presence.

NOTE: It is important for the student to pay attention and be accounted for when there is a substitute.

Discrepancias de Asistencia
Para discrepancias (errores) en la asistencia de su estudiante, le pedimos a EL ESTUDIANTE/PADRE que se comunique con su maestro para su corrección. El especialista en asistencia no puede hacer ninguna corrección sin la aprobación del maestro. El profesor da cuenta de si el alumno está presente o ausente en clase.

Si un maestro sustituto marca a los estudiantes ausentes en clase, la asistencia no se puede cambiar a menos que un maestro o un administrador pueda verificar su presencia. 

NOTA: Es importante que el estudiante preste atención y sea tenido en cuenta cuando haya un sustituto.
