ANNOUNCEMENTS

Online Attendance-Teachers must verify absences online as soon as the student returns to class. Please send notes to the office if reason for the absence is returned 4 days after absence. When the LAUSDMax system is down, please hold onto your list to enter the attendance later in the day when you have a chance. If your internet is down or your computer crashes, go ahead and send your attendance to the office so they can input it.

Bloody Noses – Please follow M. Schmitter’s recommendation regarding bloody noses. Have the child hold tissues

Around the fatty part of the nose while sitting in an upright position for 5 minutes. If the bleeding does not stop after

5 minutes, go ahead and send to the office. This will prevent blood dripping from the classroom all the way to the

Office. Dispose of bloody tissues in wastebasket and tie up the bag so the custodial staff knows it is contaminated.
