LAUSD Attendance Policy

The LAUSD goal is for all students to maintain a Proficient/Advanced attendance rate of 96% or higher throughout the entire school year.  This means having no more than 7 total absences during the school year.

 

Every student is expected to attend school on a daily basis, unless there is valid justification for his/her absence (EC 48260).

 

According to the California Education Code, students may be excused from school when the absence is due to: 

  • Illness
  • Quarantine 
  • Medical, dental, optometric or chiropractic services
  • Attending the funeral of an immediate family member e.g., mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, or any relative living in the immediate household of the student (one day within the state, three days outside the state) 
  • Jury duty
  • Illness or medical treatment of a child of whom the student is the custodial parent 
  • Justifiable Personal Reasons: When the pupil’s absence has been requested in writing by the parent and approved by the principal or designee

 

Any absence for any reason other than those stated above will be marked unexcused.

  • Funeral, muerte de un miembro familiar inmediato e.g., mama, papa, abuelo/a, hermano/a, o cualquier familiar que vive en la casa del estudiante (un día en el estado, tres días fuera del estado)
  • Servicio de Jurado
  • Enfermedad o tratamiento médico de un niño del cual el/la estudiante tiene la custodia
  • Razones Personales Justificadas: Son cuando un permiso de ausencia del estudiante ha sido pedido por escrito por un padre y aprobado por el director o persona designada
