Parents/Guardians must communicate each day a student is absent. You can report a student absence by phone or email. Email: [email protected] For Phone Options: Dial 510-656-1250, press 7 for Attendance. A 24-hour answering machine will accept your calls at all hours; be sure to leave a message. All attendance communications are logged. When emailing or calling, provide the following information: – Student’s full name (spell the last name) – Room No and Grade – Your name and relationship to the student – Reason for absence – please be specific
A phone call or written note is required to clear an absence. If no parent or guardian contact is made, the absence is recorded as unexcused truancy. Our automated calling system will make two attempts daily to contact you when your student has been marked absent in one or more classes. Failure to clear an unexcused absence will result in truancy. For specific policy information, please refer to FUSD Parent/Guardian Student Handbook on School Attendance.
