What is Excellent Attendance? The LAUSD’s goal is for ALL students to attend at a rate of 96% or higher. We expect all students to be present in school, on-time, every day. Students should miss no more than one week (about 7 days) of school per school year.

Compulsory Full-Time Education E.C. 48200 All children between the ages 6 and 18 years must attend school full time. All parents, guardians, and students are responsible to comply with this law. Kindergarten students are included. They must abide with the attendance policy if they are enrolled in school 15

Attendance + Grades=Success Why does this law exist? Attendance + Grades=Success School attendance is the strongest predictor of High School Graduation. A high school graduate will earn about $300,000 more than a high school dropout over their lifetime. A college graduate will earn about $1,000,000 more than a high school dropout over a lifetime. The attendance law exists back in the 18 or 1900’s to protect children from being exploited, cut back on delinquency. 16

What Students can do: Get to school every day on time, in every grade! Make any appointments during school vacations or off time. Set a schedule and stick to it! Make sure you go to bed early so that you are rested and ready to learn. Prepare school clothes, homework and supplies the night before school. Talk to your parent, counselor, or someone you trust for help and support if you need it!

Attendance Policies and Procedures Be on time at 8AM. Make doctor appointments after school or on vacation time. Bring a note from a doctor or a parent if you are absent. Talk to a counselor if you are having problems with your attendance or need help with something.
