  • School attendance is critical for academic achievement, social development, and future success. Consistent presence prevents learning gaps, builds foundational skills, and teaches vital life habits like responsibility. Missing just a few days can negatively impact a student's trajectory.

    Always report all absences to your student’s school with a reason. Reported absences due to illness, appointments, funerals, and other situations as defined under Board Policy 5200 are EXCUSED and will not be counted towards Habitual Truancy.
