Student Expectations PresentationJanuary 2015

LET’S TALK ATTENDANCEDid you know that for every 3 tardies to any class period = 1 absence?The State of California Compulsory Attendance Law states you can have only 10 excused absences a year.

- after the 10th absence, if you are sick you must go to the doctor and get a doctors note that must be turned with in 3 days or that absence is marked unexcused.

- excessive absences, meaning more than 10 you and your parent/guardian will receive a SARB letter. This is a district letter, meaning if your attendance does not improve your case will go before the SARB Board (district officials, police, attorney’s, health officials, etc.) and you and your parent/guardian have to explain your absences.

- if your attendance still does not improve, your case goes to the District Attorney’s office and your parents are prosecuted financially and with potential jail time for extreme cases or if your family cannot pay the fine.
