Student attendance procedures are being standardized across NUSD to increase student achievement, safety, and learning; and to fulfill compulsory school attendance and school funding laws.
Stages of Attendance:
- Accurate attendance is taken in classroom
- Attendance is reported to school office
- Absences are verified and reconciled by school office
The following procedures are to be completed each day at all NUSD schools in Infinite Campus (IC). If you have feedback or suggestions for improving this procedure, please submit a work order.
