School Attendance is Essential

Students are more likely to succeed at school when their attendance is consistant.

Your child's attendance significantly impacts their educational achievement.

Did you know:

  • Attendance is the number one predictor of dropout and graduation rates.
  • only 17% of chronically absent students in kindergarten and 1st grade can read on grade level.
  • There is a 25% drop in the likelihood of graduating high school in 4 years when students are absent between 5-9 days per semester.
  • As little as 5-9 absences a semester can drop a student's GPA from a 3.0 to 2.7

Please notify the office every day that your child is absent from school.  To report an absence, call (408) 341-7118 for the 24 hr. attendance line.  Any unverified absence is unexcused.

If you have seen a medical professional, please bring us a doctor's note to have your child's absence medically verified.

Your student is allowed 10 days of parent verified absence due to an illness for the school year. After the 10 days, you will need to bring in a doctor's note to clear the absences. 

Campbell Union School District publishes its school calendar in the Spring so families can plan vacations around school holidays. Vacations are not excused absences. Vacation are considered unexcused and will generate truancy letters.
