Reporting Student Absence
According to BUSD's attendance policy, a parent must report his/her student’s absence to the school in writing, by phone, or in person, within 3 days. If the absence is not verified as an excusable absence, it shall be recorded as unexcused.
If your child is absent or tardy, please contact the office to explain the reason. This is necessary for our district to comply with state law. Absences and tardies may be reported via three different ways:
- Call the main office at (818) 729-3150
- Email our Office Manager at RosyPozos@burbankusd.org
Admittance to School After Illness/Communicable Diseases
To protect our staff and students, children returning to school following a communicable disease must be readmitted by a school nurse or a physician. Students returning with stitches, a cast, crutches, braces, or following a serious illness, injury, or hospitalization may be readmitted only with the written consent of a physician or medical agency. The physician's written consent should include any program modifications that may be necessary, including the number of days or the date that the child can be released. The principal should be notified of any special considerations that may be necessary. Along with the physician's written consent, a parent note should be sent with the returning students.
