Attendance GuidelinesAs
a public school, M.M.C.A. is required by law to enforce California’s
compulsory attendance laws. Attendance
is VITAL to your child’s success in school.
State-approved “excused” absences include: illness, medical
appointments, religious holidays, religious ceremonies and bereavement purposes. Pretty
much everything else is considered an “unexcused” absence. Parents of students with more than (3) unexcused
absences may receive Truancy warning letters from the County Superintendent of
Schools. If
your child is going to be absent, please call the
attendance hotline @ 630-1513 or fill out the absence form below. Independent Study
If
you know your child is going to be absent from school in advance or if the
absence is going to be extended (two days or more), please consider enrolling
your child in M.M.C.A.’s Independent Study program.
For more information about Independent Study, please email
dwilliams@mmcharter.org.
Please let you child's teachers know in advance of your child's absence. We have new Independent Study guidelines where teachers need to prepare the packets to meet the needs of your child. Tardy Policy
Students arriving to school after their scheduled start time of 8:30 am, must be signed in by their parents in the office. Tardies in excess of 30 minutes are also a part of the state’s compulsory attendance law. Parents of students with more than (3) unexcused tardies may also receive Truancy warning letters from the County Superintendent of Schools.
