We are on a journey to increase our positive attendance by 1% over the course of this school year and decrease our chronic absenteeism rate by -6%. This is a districtwide initiative and we are taking extra steps to ensure we hit our intended goal. We are having a competition between all grade levels on a monthly basis, students will be recognized for their attendance improvements from month to month and we are looking to have an end of the year celebration for achieving our overall attendance goals.

Year Long Positive Attendance Goal from 97% to 98%

Year Long Chronic Absenteeism Goal reduction from 10% to 4%

Our Grade Level competition will be revealed later on this month for TK-5th and teachers/sfaff.

The district will send home letters and notifications regarding your child's attendance for the school year. There are 3 major ways the district will notify you of your attendance for the school year. Please click the following buttons below to learn about text messages and letters that you may receive during the school year.

Once you have a total of 3 unexcused absences a series of truancy letters (CA Education Code) can be sent to your home. Between letters 2 and 3 if absences and late tardies continue the school will hold a Student Attendance Review Team (SART) Meeting with the parent/guardian. Chronic cases without change will be referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) which is held by the Pasadena USD representatives and the City of Pasadena.
