Attendance

Students are expected to attend school everyday.  The FUSD goal for attendance is 95% or higher.  If for some reason a student is absent, their parents must call the office explaining why they are out of school.  Parents should be specific about the child's symptoms when calling into the school so that we can code the absence appropriately and take necessary steps to ensure everyone's safety.  California law requires regular attendance at school.  If you are not in school regularly , there could be disciplinary actions that could result from you not attending school.  If you are picking up your student early, please send a note in the morning and submit it to the Student Office.  We will not call students out of class the last 20 minutes of the end of the school day.

Absences - Unexcused

Unexcused absences are those absences that are no verified by a parent/guardian and that do not meet the California codes for excused absences.  Those codes are available in the parent handbook.  Unexcused absences may result in disciplinary  consequences or a referral to SARB.

Absences - Truancy

Any student who is absent from school without a valid excuse for three full days in one school year or tardy or absent for more than any 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, is a truant (Education Code 48260).  After a student has been declared truant, any subsequent absences or tardiness that are unexcused will also be declared truancies.  Students with excessive truancies will be reported to the district's office of Student Support Services, and the parent will be contacted.  Unresolved truancies may result in the student and parent/guardian being referred to the FUSD Student Attendance Review Board (SARB).  This may also lead to a hearing held at the Fremont Police Station.
