How do I report an absence?

When a child is absent for any reason, parents are to call the school office
on the first and each successive day of absence.  Voice mail can be left
twenty-four hours a day, Monday through Friday and all weekend.  The
attendance line is 408-252-5414,  Ex. 6.  If a student is absent for five
days, a doctors note is required.

How do I know what school my child should attend?

When you know the address where you will be moving, check the Cupertino Union
School District website (see "Links"). The left side of the home
page has a
CUSD street locator.  Click on this site and follow the directions.  It will
tell you the home school for that address.  You are always welcome to call the
local schools for attendance area information.

How do I register my child?

When the name of the home school has been determined, you register at that
site.  You will need Proof of Residency, Immunizations and a birth certificate
and if your child was born out of the country a passport.  See Registration Requirements.
Students must be residing in the District at the time of registration.

What do I need to do to become a volunteer?

Volunteers are always welcome at Garden Gate.  If you are interested in
volunteering, contact your child's teacher.  The PTA also needs volunteers. 
All volunteers must have a current TB Mantoux Test on file with the school.
