Student absences can be noted by:
- Written note or OV voicemail 510-558-4801 or email (kknowles@ausdk12.org) from parent/guardian before 10 AM on the day of the absence.
- Conversation, in person or by telephone, between the school office and the student's parent/guardian. The parent or guardian should give the following information:
*First and Last Name of student
*Name of parent/guardian making attendance call
*Date(s) of absence
*Reason for absence
Parents have a maximum of 5 days to excuse an absence
If a student has been absent for 10 days due to medical/illness, we are required to ask for a doctor's note to excuse any medical/illnessess after the 10th day. Any medical/illnesses already excused by a doctor in the first 10 days of absences are not counted toward this requirement.
Excused vs. Unexcused
California Education Code Section 48205 is explicit in differentiating between what is an excused absence and what is an unexcused absence.
