Detailed Attendance Information
Missing a School Day?
Absences – There are only three (3) types of absences that are excusable:
- Illnesses
- Doctor/Medical Appointments
- Funerals
Sate and District Policy states the “parents have 72 hours” (3 days) to report and “clear” a student’s absence. If the reason for the absence is not reported to the school and “cleared”, the absence defaults to a Truancy.
There are several ways to report an absence:
- e-Mail: woodsideattendance@mdusd.org
- Attendance Hotline: (925) 682-8000 ext. 7755 (leave a voice mail)
- Note from parent/guardian delivered to the Office
Please be sure to include the following information when reporting and absence:
- Student’s first and last name
- Student’s teacher’s name
- Student’s grade level
- Your name and relationship to the student, e.g., mother, father, grandparent, etc.
- The reason for the absence, e.g., illness, funeral, vacation, etc.
- The phone number where you can be reached in case additional information is needed
An “Uncleared” absence = a Truancy
Arrival at school 30 or more minutes after the official start of the school day for no excusable reason = A Tardy and Counts toward a Truancy Letter
Leaving school 30 or more minutes before the end of the school day for no excusable reason = A Tardy and Counts toward a Truancy Letter
