We miss your scholar when they are not in school and we value their contributions to our community! We would like you to help ensure that your student attends regularly and is successful in school.
Attendance Policies
If your scholar has聽3 unexcused absences or 5 excused absences in one month, we will need to schedule a conference to identify barriers to the student鈥檚 regular attendance and the supports and resources that may be available to improve attendance.
If a scholar has聽7 unexcused absences in one month or 15 unexcused absences in the school year, the school is required by law to file a truancy petition with Juvenile Court.
We know that there are a wide variety of reasons that students are absent from school, from health concerns to transportation challenges. There are many people in our building prepared to help you if you or your student face challenges in getting to school regularly or on time. We promise to track attendance daily, to notice when your student is missing from class, communicate with you to understand why they were absent, and to identify barriers and supports available to overcome challenges you may face in helping your student attend school.
