Parent Portal AERIES Account

The following LINK English/ LINK Spanish provides step-by-step instructions to create a parent portal account, which allows parents to complete data confirmation, access grades, attendance, schedules, assignments, teacher information and more. 

Truancy Vs. Chronic Absence

TRUANCY

  • Counts only unexcused absences
  • Emphasizes compliance with school rules
  • Relies on legal & administrative solutions

CHRONIC ABSENCE

  • Counts all absences: excused, unexcused & suspensions
  • Emphasizes academic impact of missed days
  • Uses community-based, positive strategies

Mandatory Attendance

Students are expected to attend school every day. Education Code 48290 sets out the basic authorization for the County District Attorney to hold parents accountable for their school-age children’s attendance.

Notification Letters to Parents

The School District Office mails home three types of notification to alert parents of an attendance problem and urging parents to take corrective action. The types of notification are Tardy Letter, Excessive Excused Absences Letters, and Truancy Letters.

School Attendance Review Board (SARB)

Any student with habitual truancy or excessive absences or chronic absences will be considered for recommendation to the School Attendance Review Board. If the student continues to miss school after the SARB Hearing, the matter is referred to the courts. Courts can then use penalties or other measures to seek compliance with compulsory school attendance.
