• EMUHSD Attendance Procedures 
    Attendance is extremely important to a child's academic success; children cannot learn if they are not in school. The Compulsory Attendance Law (E.C. 48200), requires that all children aged 6-18 attend school regularly and punctually. Absences due to personal illness, court appearance, or medical appointments can be verified if official documentation is provided. Absences due to personal reasons, oversleeping, car repair, shopping, working, lack of clothing or lunch money, babysitting, extended vacation days, or trips do not meet the legal criteria and will be designated as unverified. Parental notes are accepted, but marked as unverified. Absences which are not verified either through official documentation or parental notification will be marked as truant. Unauthorized or Excessive absences, even those verified by parents, may lead to disciplinary actions which include but are not limited to detention assignments, Saturday School Assignments, parent conferences, referral to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB), or alternative placement.

    Returning to School After an Absence

    天美影视 are to report to the Attendance Office with a verification of absence, which must include students full name, date and reason for absence. Student will be given a re-admit cared, which must be signed by each teacher from whose class they have been absent to. The Attendance Office opens daily at 7:00 am to allow students to pick up their re-admit card with enough time to avoid being tardy to class.
