CLEARING AN ABSENCE

Only a Parent or Legal Guardian can clear an absence, report a late arrival, or release their student early from school.  In order for anyone else to do so, you must let us know in advance as we will NOT release a student without first receiving parent or legal guardian permission.  

• If your student is going to miss school for the day, please let us know within 24 hours of the absence.  If your student needs to leave early for the day, call at least 30 minutes before the release time.

There are many ways to clear an absence:

• Call the Attendance Office  714-628-5511 

  • Press 1 for an all day absence
  • Press 2 if your student is coming in late or needs to leave early
• Online Google Form
  • Fill out the absence form: https://forms.gle/TBCcp2ifj82ZbkwY7 
• Email attendance at VPHSattendanceoffice@orangeusd.org
• Send a dated note 
• Visit the Attendance Office
  • You must bring a valid picture ID

In ALL instances you will need to:

• Provide your students first and last name
• Student ID # or date of birth
• Grade
• Date of absence
• Reason for absence
• Relationship to student
• Call-back phone number or email address

If your student is not feeling well while at school, they MUST go to the Health Office.  The health clerk will call if your student needs to be released.

** For safety and security reasons, all students MUST check out at the Attendance Office before leaving campus.
