Regular Attendance

Daily attendance at school is mandated by California State Law until the age of eighteen. Attendance is calculated in the district by actual physical presence by the student. No pupil is permitted to leave school at recess or any other time before the regular hour of closing without the approval of the school principal or designee. Violations will be considered as truancies (E.C. 48200).

Reporting a Student’s Absence

Parents of elementary and middle school students are urged to notify the school office by 8 a.m. on the morning of any absence, or as soon after that as possible. Also, parents should phone the school each morning thereafter until the student returns to school. At the secondary school level, parents should send a note with their student explaining the absence on the day they return. (E.C.46012; C.A.C.306). Absences that are not cleared within 3 days shall be recorded as in-excusable. All school sites provide specific information on their attendance procedures Please contact your school’s attendance office for details.

The teachers will be knowledgeable of these standards and work collaboratively to develop plans to meet them in all subject areas. The needs of all students will be addressed and everyone will be treated with respect. Our students will want to come to school and the teachers will be excited to teach them. Our classrooms will be filled with accomplishments, and the feelings of success and pride will permeate the Fletcher campus.
