Attendance
Every School Day Counts: Help Your Child Succeed in School
Thank you in advance for your commitment to ensuring your child(ren) is on time and ready to learn each and every day. This commitment to attending school will translate into future success in and outside the classroom.
School success goes hand in hand with good attendance! Every day is important. MPUSD and Del Rey Woods Elementary have high expectations for consistent and committed attendance at school. Whether excused or unexcused, absences add up to a loss of learning time, and can quickly lead to academic and social-emotional challenges. Defined as missing 10 percent of the school year (18 days a year or just 2 - 3 days each month), chronic absenteeism can translate into:
- Third graders unable to master reading
- Sixth graders failing courses
- Ninth graders dropping out of high school
If your student will be absent, please call the school office at 831-392-3907
If your child will be out for 3 - 14 days, please arrange to have an Independent Study Contract completed through the office at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the absence.
