EARLY STUDENT RELEASE

Students leaving the school early must be picked up by a parent (guardian) or an adult listed on the student’s emergency contact list.

It is a faster process if you send a note with the student in the morning with the time of pick up to be handed in to the Attendance Office. The student will be handed a pass to return at that time to meet you. No off campus after 3:15.

ID is required at time of release.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Please contact the following personnel for attendance policies and resolving student attendance issues.

Mauricio Martinez
Attendance Technician
Phone: (619) 474-9703
Email: SUHI.Attendance@sweetwaterschools.org

Please send an email to SUHI.Attendance@sweetwaterschools.org to excuse your student’s absence

  • You may call or email Mr. Martinez.  Email is preferred and it MUST be from the parent/guardian’s email account on file. Otherwise, leave a message.
  • Students mistakenly marked absent:
    • Have your student come to the Attendance office to pick up an Attendance Correction Form. 
    • They must complete the form with their name and ID number plus the date and period that they were marked absent. 
    • They then turn in the form to the Attendance office.
    • Students  should try to do this as soon as possible.
  • Students can NOT excuse their own absence. It must be a Parent or Guardian
  • BUT, students SHOULD email their teachers when they are going to be absent to let them know 
  • Students are STILL responsible for work that they miss when they are absent
