Absences and Excuses
Regular school attendance is an important part of a student’s educational success, and in fact state law requires daily attendance at school. Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance, and poor attendance is associated with higher dropout rates and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge.
Please see our attendance policies and procedures below. If you have any questions, please contact the John Baldwin office at 925-855-5200.
- It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to communicate with the school Attendance Office for any full or partial day absences. The phone number for your student’s Attendance Line can be found [customize]
- Attendance Must Be Cleared Within two (2) school days (48 hours). All absences not cleared with the Attendance Office within two (2) days after a student’s return to school will be recorded as a CUT.
