Walnut Creek will continue to focus on improving student attendance. We know that children can not learn if they are late to school or absent from school. Walnut Creek will monitor the attendance of your child on a daily basis and will adhere to the state compulsory attendance law. When your child is out due to illness, please provide the teacher with a note from the doctor. Students are counted tardy if they arrive after 7:45. Please make arrangement to leave the house earlier to ensure your child arrives to school on time. Children are not counted tardy if breakfast is running behind or the buses are running late.
