Attendance

Regular attendance is expected from all students. It is required by state law and contributes to satisfactory school performance. Students who are truant (absent without a valid excuse) will be assigned Saturday school or other appropriate punishment. Students who have excessive absences may be referred to SARB (Student Attendance Review Board).
   
California law requires that children shall attend school on a regular basis. Parents are required to send school-aged children to school, or be in violation of the law. Parents who do not send their children to school may be brought before the District Attorney for prosecution. Children may also be referred to the juvenile court. Failure to send a child to school may also result in a fine for each absence. 

• Excusable reasons for a child to be absent from school are personal illness, medical/dental appointments, or death in the immediate family.
• Parents must verify each absence by note or telephone call to the school office at
  (951) 358-1675.  Notification must be on the first day of the absence.
• Extended absences: Parents are responsible for notifying teachers and the office in advance of extended absences. Students are responsible for all missed assignments. Assignments may be obtained from the teacher with 48 hours notice.
• Parents will be mailed letters after 5, 10, and 11 absences. Subsequent absences will be referred to the District for further action.
• Students who are late to school must be signed in at the office by their parent; otherwise a consequence will be assigned.
• Students who have seen a doctor or dentist during school time are to submit notes upon their return to school.
