Attendance Policies and Information
 
School attendance is mandated by statute and by laws and regulations of the State of California and the Governing Board of the Beaumont Unified School District (BP 5113). Sundance has the responsibility to enforce all attendance policies, which assure regular attendance and punctuality. In order for an absence to be cleared, a parent/guardian must send a note or call the office within 72 hours to inform the school of the student’s absence. Parent notes will only be accepted for the first ten (10) absences. After ten (10) absences, a doctor’s note or school site verification may be required.
 
According to the California Compulsory Attendance Law, an absence is excusable for the following reasons only:
  • Illness
  • Quarantine directed by a county or city health officer
  • Having medical, dental, or vision services rendered
  • Attending funeral services of a member of the pupil’s immediate family 
  • Student attendance in court
  • When a student accumulates absences, whether excused or unexcused, under the district attendance procedure, the following interventions may occur:
  • Three (3), six (6), or nine (9) unexcused absences - Parent/Guardian receives written communication from the school.
  • Ten (10) or more absences - Parent/guardian receives additional written communication from the school. Other options may include but are not limited to:
  • A scheduled conference with the School Attendance Review Team (SART).
  • Referral to the district’s School Attendance Review Board (SARB).
  • Attend an Educational Monitoring Team (EMT) meeting
  • Revoke of intra/inter district transfer.
