Attendance Rules and Regulations

Full day absences result in the loss of one full day of ADA (Approx. $35). Excused absences are no longer paid as ADA. It is also important to remember that "Vacation" days count as unexcused.

California law requires that every student attend school until the age of 18 years or until the completion of high school. Exemption: passing the California High School Proficiency Examination, must be at least age 16

The definition of an absence is more than thirty (30) minutes late for school.

Students have 3 days to clear an absence...

Excused absences include the following:
* student illness * student's medical, dental, optometrist appointment * death in immediate family * quarantine * exclusion immunization * jury duty (18 years or older) *

Excused absences recorded as "OTHER":
* appearance in court * observance of a religious holiday * pressing family emergency *

Unexcused absences:
* vacation * caring for younger siblings * employment * errands * visiting relative or friends * car trouble * oversleeping * shopping *
