Announcements – May 12

Truancy Policy
Please remember to call in your child’s absence to the school office. Indicate the reason for absence. The following reasons are valid excuses for absences:

  • Illness
  • Medical appointments
  • Funerals (1 day in California, 3 days outside of California)
  • Appearances in court
  • Observances of a religious holiday or ceremony

Please note: Independent Study is an optional, educational alternative for students who are going out of town or out of the country or who are temporarily otherwise unable to attend school for a personal or medical reason for up to two weeks. Please notify your child’s teacher if your child will need to be on an Independent Study. He/she will complete the paperwork needed with assignments to be completed for your child’s absence to be excused. This must be done prior to the absence.

Truancy-Education Code Section 48260 defines a truant student as one who has been absent from school without a valid excuse three or more days, or tardy in excess of 30 minutes on each of three or more days, or any combination therof, in a school year. It is expected that every school site follow up on absences for truancy determination.
