Hear directly from Daryl Holcombe with our Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office on internet safety for your teenagers. From online trolling to social media, what parents need to know for their new high schoolers as well as those getting ready to graduate and what happens in college and the postgraduate world.

This adult-only event is free for all AUHSD parents/guardians.

ATTENDANCE Q&A – PART 2
What does my student do if they are marked absent by their teacher and it is an error?
Have the student come into the attendance office to get a teacher correction form.
 
Do I need to excuse my student if they already have an early dismissal for sports?
No. Early sports dismissals are included in the Daily Don (email and/or text) sent from the office each morning.
 
If my student returns with a medical/dental note, do I still need to call the attendance line?
Yes, the absence still needs to be verified by a parent. Please call the 24-hour attendance line at 925-280-3973.
