Attendance Hotline: (805) 385-2677

If you are absent from school, your parent/guardian should call the attendance hotline number above and leave a message with the following information:

How many excused absences can my child have in one year?

You will receive an Excessive Excused Absence Notification in the mail after eight excused absences (missing class time 30 minutes or more of any day). You will receive a S econd Excessive Excused Absence Notification in the mail after twelve excused absences.

What if my child's absences do not fall under any of the excused absence categories?

State law [EC 48260-48273] is very specific about these types of absences. A student whose absences are not within Ed Code [EC 48205] will be marked “unexcused” for the day. These types of absences are also called “truancies.”

What should I do if my student will be arriving late or leaving early for an appointment?

Compulsory Education Law requires that students attend FULL days every day. Losing 30 minutes or more of instructional time also considered a truancy if it does not fall within Ed Code 48205 .

What happens when students have more than three UNEXCUSED absences?

Letters are automatically generated approximately every two weeks alerting you of your child’s attendance. You will receive a “First Notification of Truancy” after your child’s 3rd unexcused absence. You will receive a “Second Notification of Truancy” after your child’s 5th unexcused absence.

What can I do if my child has a chronic illness that prevents them from being at school regularly?

OUHSD offers alternative educational options for students with special circumstances that have been verified by a physician. Please contact your student’s counselor if you are in this situation.

What if my child needs to be out of school for an extended period of time?

If your child must go out of town for five or more days, you may request that your child be signed up for an Independent Study Agreement by his or her counselor. Please note that teachers will need at least one week in advance to prepare materials.
