Attendance

95% for 17 years in a row!

School attendance is mandated by statute and by laws and regulations of the State of California and the Governing Board of the Beaumont Unified School District (BP 5113).  

Sundance has the responsibility to enforce all attendance policies, which assure regular attendance and punctuality. In order for an absence to be cleared, a parent/guardian must send a note within 72 hours to inform the school of the student’s absence, tardy and/or early pick up greater than 30 min. or more. Parent notes will only be accepted for the first 10 absences. After ten absences, a doctor’s note or school site verification may be required. According to the California Compulsory Attendance Law, an absence is excusable for the following reasons only:

1.    Illness

2.    Quarantine directed by a county or city health officer

3.    Having medical, dental, or vision services rendered

4.    Attending funeral services of a member of the pupil’s immediate family

5.    Student attendance in court

1.    3+, 6+, or 9+ unexcused absences, tardy and/or early pick up greater than 30 min. or more - Parent/Guardian will receive written communication from the school.​ School site may request a SART conference with parent/guardian.
