- School begins daily at 9:30am. Supervision begins at 9:10 am. Students may not be on campus without a parent/guardian prior to 9:10 as we are unable to provide supervision. School is out at 3:45pm on Mon. Tues, Thurs. and Fri. On Wednesdays, school is out at 2:30pm.
- Each day your child is out, please call the office at 415.759.2825 or email Ms. Classy, Martinc@sfusd.edu. You may also send a note to the school’s front office upon students’ return. While it is great to inform your child’s teacher of an absence, you still MUST report your child’s absence to the office so that we can mark the correct code. Please be prepared to give the student’s birth name, classroom teacher’s name, and reason for absence. If your child is sick, please be prepared to answer a few additional questions to understand when they can return. For excused absences, notes/calls should be submitted within 72 hours.
- Not every absence is excused. We excuse for illness, religious holidays, medical appointments, COVID related absences, school tours, visiting ill relatives or service members, funerals, etc. For more information, please see Section 4.1 Attendance Guidelines in SFUSD’s Student and Family Handbook.
- If your child is vomiting, experiencing diarrhea, or a fever at school, YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK THEM UP ASAP. Students may return after not having any symptoms for at least 24 hours.
- Lakeshore does have a 10 minute grace period. If students come in after 9:40am, they MUST go to the office and get a tardy slip BEFORE going to class or any morning session. Please make every effort to get your children to school on time each day. We have a daily autodialer that will call you if your child has been marked absent by the teacher. (This can be helpful in case you forgot to call to report an absence.)
- In the ParentVue app, we have codes around attendance that are viewable by you. When your child is present and on time, it will show up as blank on that date. If your child is late between 9:40 and 10:10 it will show as a ‘T’ for tardy. If your child is late after 10:10 it will show up as ‘T30’ (more than 30 minutes late.) If the tardy is excused it will show up as ‘ET.’ If your child has an excused absence, it will show up as an ‘E’. If your child is just absent, it will show up as ‘A’. (Please note that any combinations of 2 or more ‘A’ or ‘T30’s will result in a truancy letter being sent out to your home.) While the principal’s signature is on the letter, they are populated and sent from the district’s headquarters. The letter can be harsh and scary, as truancy and missing education is a very serious concern. If you receive one, or notice a mistake, please reach out to me at Martinc@sfusd.edu and I will be more than happy to assist you. Please allow 48 hours to correct any absence mistakes.
- We understand that students may occasionally be taken out of school early. If you need to pick up your child early, please come to the office and check in with the secretary, sign out the student, and have them called to the office. Please DO NOT go straight to the child’s class as this can be disruptive to the entire class. Students leaving MUST be signed out by parent/guardian. Those under the age of 18 are not allowed to pick up students early without prior consent.
- If you’ve made arrangements for a friend, neighbor, or a classmate’s parent to pick up your child, please let the office know. Please let them know to go to the office and show their I.D. We will not release any child to anyone who is not listed on their emergency card without prior consent. (Please make sure your emergency card is up to date for this school year.)
- Please make sure your student is at school on time every day and stays until dismissal to allow for a full day of education and to reduce disruptions as much as possible.
- Please be sure to pick your children up on time each day. Classes are dismissed on the yard. Children who have not been picked up by 3:50 (2:35 on Wed) will be brought to the main office.
- PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAYS OR BUS ZONES FOR ANY DROP OFF OR PICK UP.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. Thank you!
