Attendance Board Policy 5113 - Absences and Excuses

This contract outlines the expectations and responsibilities for attendance at Trabuco Mesa Elementary for the 2024-2025 academic school year.

Regular attendance is crucial for the academic success and overall well-being of students. Consistent attendance fosters a positive learning environment, promotes social development, and helps students achieve their full potential. It is for these reasons that ensuring your child is attending school on time daily is crucial to their academic success.

As a student at Trabuco Mesa, we are committed to providing a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment for all students. We monitor attendance regularly and communicate with families regarding any concerns. Additionally, we work collaboratively with our families to address any barriers to attendance and provide any necessary supports.

Our students are expected to attend school for the full duration of the academic day, unless excused for valid reasons. Excessive absences, as defined as missing more than 10% of the school year without a valid excuse, may result in intervention from the school to support improved attendance. Families are encouraged to contact the school with any concerns.

Families who fail to comply with this attendance contract may be subject to mandatory meetings with school administrators to address attendance concerns, including referral to the appropriate authorities if truancy becomes a persistent issue.

As a family here at Trabuco Mesa, we are asking you to commit to the following:

• Understand the significance of our child's regular attendance.

• Ensure that your child attends school on time every day unless they are genuinely ill or have a valid reason for absence.

• Notify the school promptly in case of your child's absence and provide a written excuse upon their return.

• Schedule family vacations and non-emergency appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.

• Support your child's learning by encouraging good attendance habits and emphasizing the importance of education.

Este contrato describe las expectativas y responsabilidades de asistencia a la Primaria Trabuco Mesa para el año escolar académico 2024-2025.

La asistencia regular es crucial para el éxito académico y el bienestar general de los estudiantes. La asistencia constante fomenta un ambiente de aprendizaje positivo, promueve el desarrollo social y ayuda a los estudiantes a alcanzar su máximo potencial.

Las ausencias excesivas, definidas como faltar más del 10% del año escolar sin una excusa válida, pueden resultar en una intervención de la escuela para apoyar una mejor asistencia. Se anima a las familias a comunicarse con la escuela si tienen alguna inquietud.

Las familias que no cumplan con este contrato de asistencia pueden estar sujetas a reuniones obligatorias con los administradores escolares para abordar inquietudes sobre la asistencia, incluida la remisión a las autoridades correspondientes si el ausentismo escolar se convierte en un problema persistente.

Drop-off/Pick-up Safety Procedures

Our school parking lot is extremely busy during drop-off and pick-up times.  All students should be in class at 8:00 a.m.

As a continued safety protocol and to ensure that we know who is on campus at all times, we’d like to remind our community that SVUSD elementary schools are closed campuses.  Students may be dropped off in three designated areas: The front courtyard/parking lot, the grass area in the front of the school, or Antonio Parkway gate.  (Unlike the previous year, you may choose which area works best for your family/students.) 

On the first day of school, August 15, families/caregivers will be welcome to walk their children to their classroom lines. Beginning August 16, we will adhere to the following safety protocol:

1. 15 minutes prior to the start of school, families may drop their children off at one of the designated drop-off/pick-up areas highlighted above.  From there, students may proceed to their lines.
2. When dropping-off/picking-up your students in the parking lot or on Vereda Laguna Street, please do not park and motion for your child to cross in front of on-coming traffic.  We ask that students use the crosswalk and sidewalks for their safety.
3. In the parking lot, cars should move through the lot in a single file line on the right.  Please pull forward along the curb and watch for directions from a supervising adult.  Once you are fully stopped, you may allow your child to exit/enter the car on the curbside only.  The left lane is used for cars driving through the parking lot.  Please take care when pulling out into the left flow-through lane, drive slowly,  and watch for pedestrians.
4. Kindergarten parents should park and walk to the front courtyard near the classrooms for drop-off/pick up.  (Do not park at the red curb for drop-off/pick-up.)  Kindergarten students must be escorted to and from class.  Kindergarten teachers will only release children to an adult. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in addressing these important safety issues.
