IMPORTANT REMINDER 

Parents Have 5 School Days To Clear Absences Before They Turn Into Truants

The State of California controls how schools report attendance. They give school office personnel 5 school days to clear an absence from "Absent" to either "Excused Absence" or "Unexcused Absence." The office can only make those changes after we hear from families on why their child was not present at school and it needs to be within 5 school days.

Truants

If parents do not contact the school to clear absences within 5 days, the "Absent" code automatically turns into a "Truant" and the office cannot change that. The state LOCKS attendance and once that happens we can not make changes.

Best Practice for Reporting Student Absences

It is best to contact the school office the day your child is absent. It is also best if you report early in the day as the system will send emails and make calls automatically if absences are not cleared by 3:00 p.m. If you call later in the day, the office may not be able to clear absences until the following school day. Sending a note with your child to excuse an absence is not recommended.
