My SDP Plan

If you have not yet completed your child's Alma update for the year that needs to be completed AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is critical this is completed for each child every year so we have the most current contact information and any changes in address in case of an emergency. If you are unsure if you have done this or not, please call the office.

We love to showcase fun events and activities our students participate in through our school website, this weekly news platform, Facebook page, and District newsletter. To help us ensure we have permission for featuring your child(ren) through these platforms, as well as approve your child being in the school yearbook, please complete this Google Form for each child you have attending OM/BUMI.

If you are interested in volunteering on campus and have not yet been finger printed you will need to completed this process prior to volunteering. Starting this year ALL volunteers are required to completed mandated reporter training prior to volunteering for the first time. This can be completed at this site. Please call the office if you need any assistance with the volunteer process.

Consistent school attendance is critical for student achievement.

Students are expected to attend school with minor illness symptoms such as minor sore throat, runny nose, cough, etc. as we know symptoms like these can last well beyond the contagious period. Students need to be fever and vomit free for 24 hours prior to returning to school.

If you are aware of an upcoming absence of 3 days or more, please contact he office at least one week prior to arrange for an Independent Study Contract.

Please remind your child(ren) about good hygiene practices including hand washing, keeping hands away from their face, and covering coughs and sneezes. We want to try to keep our students healthy as they return to school.

• ✔️ Attendance - Help your student build positive attendance routines by ensuring they attend school every day they possibly can and arrive on time. When students are tardy, they miss learning time and cause a disruption when entering the classroom.

• 🎂 Birthday Marquee - Interested in celebrating your child's birthday with marquee recognition or library book donation? Ask the office for more information on these birthday celebrations.

1. What is considered an Excused Absence?
By law [EC § 48205], excused absences are: illness [(fever 100° or more, persistent runny nose (not allergy related), vomiting, diarrhea, medical/dental appointments (doctor’s note required for verification)], death in the family, specific religious reasons, required appearance in court, and exclusion from school for contagious disease.

2. What can I do if my child needs to be out of school for a length of time?

If your child must go out of town for three (3) or more days, you may request that your child is signed up for an Independent Study Contract. Please note that teachers need at least one week’s notice in order to prepare materials without interrupting their instructional time.

3. I called in to verify my child's absence; why am I still getting truancy letters?

Unless the absence was for an excused reason (those stated in point #1), the absence is considered unexcused and truancy letters will be sent in accordance with Education Code of the State of California [EC § 48260-48273]. Ed Code states that any pupil who is absent from school for 3 days or more without a valid excuse (reasons specified in point #1), or tardy in excess of 30 minutes or more, is considered truant.
