Reporting Your
Absence
Consistent attendance and adherence to assigned work schedules is a professional expectation and helps ensure students continue to receive the best possible education and support every day.
To utilize PN, sick, or vacation time, please follow all school site/department/district protocol for reporting absences and requesting time off. Here are a few pointers for being a reliable and dependable team member:
Communicate regarding any upcoming extended leave of absences with as much advance notice as possible.
Avoid consistent and recurring absences (i.e. calling out every Monday or every Friday).
Schedule personal vacations during already scheduled school session breaks.
Schedule personal appointments/activities during non-work hours.
Frontline Absence Management System
GGUSD utilizes the Frontline Absence Management System for all Special Education (SE) paraeducators. This system uses your assigned work email and allows easy access to reporting absences, scheduling a substitute, and logging emergency time off. When reporting absences after 7:00 AM, call (714) 663-6455 or (714) 663-6191 for assistance if you are encountering issues with logging your absence. General Education (GE) and Preschool paraeducators will contact the school site/department secretary directly to report an absence.
When you know you are going to be absent:
GenEd and Preschool reports absences to site secretary immediately.
SPED logs absences on Frontline and contact site secretary immediately.
Communicate with your team immediately. This includes the school secretary, supervising teacher, and any personnel that may benefit from preparing for your absence.
Do not wait. The sooner your absence is posted, the more time your team has to prepare and seek coverage.
Make sure your Frontline profile job title, shift hours and school site(s) are correct. If they are not, please contact the Instructional Assistant Secretary in the Office of Special Education.
