Our desire is to ensure that our students are provided with the care and resources that they need to function well at school.
We know that being sick is uncomfortable and doesn't support meaningful engagement in learning, so your child should remain home if they are experiencing illness symptoms.
Should you find that your child must miss a day of school to recover, please report the absence to our attendance line or email:
- (760) 966-4801
- attendance.ies@oside.us
The following message information should be provided:
your name, child’s name, teacher’s name, date of absence, reason for absence
Students who have experienced illness may return to school once they have been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and their symptoms have improved. A negative COVID test is recommended but NOT required.
