Attendance

Please message Heather Trinidad to report a student's absence. 

 

Absence Verification

(AR 5113, EC 46012, 5 CCR 306)

CVUSD requests that parents/guardians clear their student’s absence daily. Parents/guardians have 5 school days to clear absences with the school's attendance clerk. If not cleared within five school days, the absence becomes unverified and cannot be changed.

 

The SARB Process as Established by LAW

A letter will be sent to the parent at the following intervals for unexcused or truancy absences: 

  • Third (3) - Unexcused absences:  Classified as a Truant (reported to attendance administrator)  1st Letter sent to home.
  • Sixth (6) - Unexcused absences:  Second Truancy (again reported to attendance administrator)  2nd Letter and School Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting or meeting with administrator. 
  • Ninth (9) - Unexcused absences:  Third Truancy (classified as a habitual truant and subject to summons to appear at a School Attendance Review Board (SARB). 

 

Note: Ten (10) excused absences are considered to be excessive. Education Code Sec. 48260 - Any pupil subject to full-time education or to compulsory education who is absent from school without a valid excuse more than (3) days or tardy or absent for more than any 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse or three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, is a truant and shall be reported to the attendance administrator or superintendent of the school district.  A note from the doctor will be requested after 10 absences.

 

When a parent takes their child out of school early, for reasons not acceptable as excused, for longer than a 30 minute period, more than three times during the year, that child becomes a truant. If your child is absent due to a doctor/dentist appointment, please provide a note from the doctor to excuse the tardy, early release, or absence.
