ATTENDANCE
Kindergarten through Grade 12 attendance should be reported using the LJA Attendance Form. Through this form families report absences, late arrivals, early pick-ups, or multiple day absences. After 8:00 a.m., please contact lisa.ventura@lejardinacademy.org (K-5) or Kimberly.Miyahana@lejardinacademy.org (PK-JK) with any notifications of late arrivals or early dismissal.

EXTENDED ABSENCE REQUEST PROCEDURES
It is the responsibility of each family to request extended absence approval in a timely manner from the administration prior to any absence not due to illness or family emergency. Parents must contact the Dean of Academics, rob.marsden@lejardinacademy.org for prior approval. (From the LJA 2022-2023 Code of Conduct in the Parent Portal).

Students may be required to stay home for 24 hours fever-free without medication. After 72 hours of being home due to illness, the student is required to bring a doctor's note for clearance back on campus. Please refer to the Student Sick Policy or contact the school nurse if you have any questions: school.nurse@lejardinacademy.org
