A student with three or more unexcused absences or tardies in excess of 30 minutes violates this code and is considered a truant.&nbsp; Districts are required to refer habitually truant students to the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for remediation.&nbsp; If the student continues to miss school after attendance at SARB, the student and\/or parents will be referred to the District Attorney for prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it important to attend school?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"py-2\"><strong>Every day counts<\/strong>&nbsp;in a child's education.&nbsp; Each day a student misses school, he gets more than two days behind his peers because he must make up missed learning and catch up with new learning at the same time.&nbsp; Every day a student is in school, she raises her chance to score well on tests.&nbsp; Every day a student goes to school, he learns a little more about responsibility.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Every day counts<\/strong>&nbsp;toward funding for school supplies too.&nbsp; Every day a student misses school, even for excused absences, the school loses about $35 in income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Anaheim Elementary School District do to prevent attendance problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Phone calls to verify absences<\/li><li>Home visits to discuss attendance problems<\/li><li>Letters to notify parents of excessive absences<\/li><li>Parent education meetings with the Orange County District Attorney<\/li><li>Student\/parent meetings with administrator or attendance liaison<\/li><li>School Attendance Review Board (SARB) hearing<\/li><li>If all else fails, referral to District Attorney<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can parents do to prevent attendance problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stress with your child the importance of regular school attendance.<\/li><li>Teach your child to be on time for school each day.<\/li><li>Maintain reasonable and regular bedtime hours on school nights.<\/li><li>Schedule&nbsp;doctor\/dentist appointments before or after school hours.<\/li><li>Bring your child to school before&nbsp;and\/or after daytime doctor appointments<\/li><li>Plan family vacations when your child is&nbsp;off track.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"py-2\">A parent or guardian must notify the school by phone, in person, or by written note with a satisfactory explanation for the absence.&nbsp;
