A student and parent will be required to comply with compulsory attendance law.  Attendance intervention will be required if a student has 3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period (all day or parts of the day).  The school will refer the case to the District Attorney’s office if a student is absent without an excuse in any class 10 or more times in six months (all day or parts of days).
