9th Grade - New Chromebooks 

All 9th grade students will get a new school-issued device issued to you for high school.  If you are in 9th and have not swapped out your middle school device and/or are new to the district, please come to the library before school, at lunch or after school.  Please note that if you have a district-issued device checked out to you, you must bring it and the corresponding charger to the library to get your new one.  If you have questions, please come by and ask! 

Return Your Books! 

Our school is currently facing a shortage of instructional materials due to a high number of unreturned items from last year. 

We kindly ask that any outstanding textbooks or library materials be returned as soon as possible. Items can be dropped off at the library between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m..

To check which materials are still owed, please refer to the “Know What You Owe” guide. Log in using your District ID and password. 

Please note that fines may be assessed for materials not returned promptly, in order to help us replace necessary resources for the new school year.

Attendance Tips

Reporting Absences

Parents can report absences by email: missionbayattendance@sandi.net or Phone: (858)536-0136, Press Option 2

Include: student name, your name and relationship to student, date(s) of the absence, reason for the absence and your phone number. Attendance records can only be cleared within 5 school days.

Picking up your student Early? Students leaving early must have school authorization by way of a Blue Slip to exit campus.

Please make every effort to call or email at least one hour before expected dismissal time. If you know in advance, you can send a note in with your student to get dismissed early.

IMPORTANT: Failure to get a Blue Slip before leaving campus will result in a truancy. Parents/guardians may not call to clear a truancy after the student has left campus.

All families must have an SDUSD Powerschool Parent Portal Account for their students enrolled in SDUSD schools.
