ATTENDANCE REMINDERS
Because the Academy aims to promote deep thinking and understanding through collaborative learning, your
student’s presence and participation is critical to his/her educational and intellectual character growth.
We would like to take a moment to review some school practices related to our Attendance Policy and request your participation in
communicating with the Academy about your student’s attendance.
As a reminder:
- If your child is absent or tardy, please notify the school attendance@academylongbeach.org or by calling the front office at 562.283.4456. Please remember to send your child into school with a note when tardy or absent.
- CA law states that only certain absences shall be considered excused (e.g., illness, medical appointment, funeral). Unexcused absences (no note or absences related to personal reasons) count toward truancy.
- If a student is absent for three or more consecutive days, a doctor’s note is required.
- If as student is absent for 10 or more days in an academic year, a doctor’s note is required.
- The Academy is here to help problem-solve. Let us know if you need help with carpool or other obstacles. Your child's education is important to us.
If you have any questions, please call the front office 562.283.4456.
