     PERSONAL BUSINESS/FAMILY TRIPS/FAMILY EMERGENCIES (see list of codes below)

    These are UNEXCUSED absences. It is at the teacher's discretion to give homework or extra time to turn in missed work. (No disciplinary action will be taken for these absences, ie. Saturday School/detention)

    Truancy/Unverified absences not reported and not cleared within three school days will result in uncleared truancies with consequences, i.e... detention or Saturday School.

    California Ed Code states that teachers do not have to give make-up work for unexcused absences. Students should report to the attendance windows upon their return with a written note - however, if your parent or guardian has already phoned in the student can just go straight to class.  

    Unverified Absences (see list of codes below)

    The Murrieta Valley Unified School District Board of Education desires to emphasize the importance of school attendance. Therefore, students in grades nine through twelve, with excessive unverified absences (20 absences per semester) shall receive a failing grade and shall not receive credit for the class(es), Board Policy 5121.

     

    NOTE: If a teacher marks your student absent incorrectly, please email them as they are the only ones that can get this changed.
