Pupil Services and Attendance Counselor

PSA Counselor: Ms. K. Vargas

We cannot teach an empty seat.  Attendance is important.  It is also the law.  According to California Ed Code 48200, all students between the ages of 6 and 18 must attend school everyday.  If you have any questions about your child's attendance, don't hesitate to contact me.  I am here to offer my support and hope that by working collaboratively, we can help guide your children towards a successful future.

Bam Body & Mind (for students):
