Students who will be absent for 5 or more days, no matter the reason, are eligible to enter into an Short-term Independent Study contact. This gives the student an opportunity to access and complete all assignments during the absence. Additionally, the absence is changed to "Present/Independent Study" once the completed work is submitted to the counseling office. Thus the absence does not impact the student's overall attendance record. Please contact the counseling center G.I.S. Ms. Edwards or Ms.Ortega (Habla Espanol) at (619) 667-6439 to arrange for an Independent Student Contract. Email: eortega@guhsd.net  or  eedwards@guhsd.net
