We promote perfect attendance--higher attendance leads to higher achievement!
As of July 1, 1998, school districts no longer receive funding from the State of California for pupils who are absent from school. This includes all absences, even those related to illness, medical or doctor appointments, or for the purpose of attending funeral services of a member of the immediate family. In other words, schools will receive state funding only for students who actually attend school.
If you find it necessary to keep your child out of school for reasons other than an illness, we encourage you to send your child to school for at least a part of the day so that your child will not be counted absent and also will not miss out on important school assignments. It is crucial that local schools continue to receive the financial resources necessary to provide your child with a quality education, and avert or minimize program cuts. We want to avoid the unnecessary absences that reduce district resources and limit your child's opportunity to obtain good grades.
Studies show that there is a direct correlation between good school attendance and student achievement; therefore, we encourage you as parents to reinforce the importance of good school attendance and to make every effort to send your child to school on a regular basis.
Again, we encourage your continued support to promote good school attendance and student
achievement.
