Student Attendance
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
We want your student to come to school EVERY DAY. Attendance matters because attendance affects student achievement. The LAUSD goal is for all students to attend school 96% of the time or better, having no more than 7 absences per school year. Please ensure that your child attends every day, on time, and for the full length of the school day. Please be aware that school begins at 7:50 a.m. Students who are not in their class by 8:00 a.m. will be marked tardy. Each tardy is marked in the district computer system by your child’s teacher and becomes part of their permanent school record. Please try to schedule any appointments after school as early leaves also affect students’ attendance record.
