Attendance is so Important!
Attendance Policies & Procedures at Bixby
In order for each student to receive the education to which they are entitled, every student must be here on time every day. The law requires students to attend school on time every day. Absences shall be classified as follows:
· Excused absence ‑ absence for proper causes are listed in the California Education Code for illness, medical, dental, or optometry appointments, funeral services (immediate family, extending to grandparents), quarantine (under direction of County or City Health officer).
· Unexcused absence ‑ absence that occurs with the knowledge and approval of parents or guardian, but for reasons that, though not acceptable under state law, are not considered truancy.
· Truancy‑ absence that is intentional, a planned violation of State attendance law. Students who are habitually absent or tardy may receive a referral to the District’s Student Attendance Review Board (SARB).
Returning to School after an Absence
Please call the school office at (626) 933-8201 when your child will be absent. We also request a note for legal purposes as note is also required upon re-entry. Parents have three school days to clear the student’s absence. After three days, it automatically becomes an UNEXCUSED absence. Students must bring a doctor’s note if they were absent from school for more than 5 days due to illness. The note must include four items :( 1) the date of absence, (2) specific reason for absence, (3) name of student, and (4) signature of parent or guardian.
In case of illness, assignments may be requested through the school office. Please allow one (1) day for this material to be collected from the teachers. When a student is absent for an extended time, a homework buddy from each class should be contacted to obtain assignments.

Cell Phones and Social Media
Please make sure that you monitor your child's accounts. Social Media has become a problem with our students here on campus.
Cell Phones
We would like to make Bixby Elementary a “NO THEFT ZONE.” To achieve this, ALL STUDENTS MUST KEEP THEIR IPODS, MP3 PLAYERS, CELL PHONES, and ANY OTHER EXPENSIVE PERSONAL ITEMS AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY AT HOME. It is important to understand that these items are prohibited at Bixby and, therefore, Bixby cannot be responsible for investigating if they become lost or stolen. By keeping these items of value at home, students protect themselves from being victims of theft.
In regards to cell phones, Bixby administration understands that the state of California allows students to have them at school. However, their use is prohibited during school hours. This is due to students’ abuse cell phones by using them during the school day, during class and often bypassing the school office when they want to go home. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS ALWAYS USE THE FRONT OFFICE TO CALL HOME AND THAT PARENTS ALWAYS USE THE FRONT OFFICE TO CONTACT THEIR CHILD.
- Any prohibited items seen on campus will be confiscated and sent to the school office for a parent to pick-up. Further consequences may apply as well.
- Cell phones must be turned off during school hours and remain in the backpack and not out in view including during lunch or breaks. (AR 5131) Cell phones should be used off campus (front of school) before or after school for emergency purposes only. If a cell phone is seen out of a backpack or being used, it will be confiscated and sent to the office and released to a parent/guardian only.
