Attendance
Perfect attendance will be awarded every quarter!
Students will be rewarded for perfect and improved attendance. Excused absences are listed in CA Ed Code 48205. Absences must be cleared by the parent/guardian within five full days or they will be considered truant. The parent/guardian must call the attendance office at 619-326-6662 ext. 320 or email monserrat.figueroa@meusd.org to report an absence. If you are unable to call, or email, a note signed by the parent/guardian and delivered to the attendance office is sufficient.
A student absent from school under section 48205 shall be allowed to complete all assignments and tests missed during the absence that can be reasonably provided and, upon satisfactory completion within a reasonable period of time, shall be given full credit. The teacher of the class from which a pupil is absent shall determine which tests and assignments shall be reasonably equivalent to, but not necessarily identical to, the tests and assignments that the pupil missed during the absence. It is a student’s responsibility to talk with their teacher about what work has been missed.
