Attendance
Attendance will be taken in line promptly at 8:15, before any activities, such as weekly assemblies, take place. A child is considered tardy when he/she arrives after the class has taken attendance at 8:15. Tardies will be reported to the office. Joining the class late disorients children and they miss out on important routines and directions. Please be sure your child arrives ready and on time!
Report all absences to blesattendance@lvusd.org and please include the teacher on the email.
In the email, please state:
Student's Name
Grade
Teacher
Reason for Absence
Your relationship to the student
Parents, please try to schedule doctor's appointments after school hours.
If you are going on a trip and your child will be out of school 5 or more days, please let the office know in advance so that an independent study can be prepared.
If you request an independent study, your teacher will give the required work to your student on their last day.
Completed work is expected to be returned to the teacher in the same number of days after returning to school as the absence was in order to receive credit for the independent study.
Incomplete work or work not returned will result in unexcused absences being recorded for the time the student was gone.
Remember that when your student misses school, they miss out on many learning opportunities that cannot be made up or replicated outside of the classroom. The work assigned may not be the exact activities missed in class, but will cover the concepts being taught during that time.
Please note that our school district loses hundreds of thousands of dollars each year due to unexcused absences. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do your very best to have your child in school each day. Of course we want ill children to stay home, but please help our district by planning your vacation on non-school days. Thank you!
