Attendance
It is mandatory that you report all absences on a daily basis, regardless of the reason.
ABSENCES MUST BE CLEARED WITHIN 72 HOURS OR THE ABSENCE TURNS INTO UNEXCUSED.
Parents, please email woesattendance@lvusd.org to report your child's absence.
Please include:
- Your child's name
- Teacher's name
- date(s) of the absence
- The reason for the absence
The law requires your student to attend school. It is not a district or school policy, it is the law. Public education is compulsory. Family vacations should coincide with the School District's recess days.
If your child misses more than three days without a valid excuse (illness), you may receive a letter from WhiteOak and then, possibly, the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) about truancy.
Tardiness is also tracked.
