Community Forum on Carlsbad High School Task Force Recommendations at AOE Tonight
In response to the upsurge of considerable discussion regarding the preliminary recommendations of the High School Task Force, the AOE PTA will be hosting a community forum on Tuesday, Feb 13th at 6:30 p.m. in the AOE auditorium.  In attendance will be Kelli Moors, President, CUSD Board of Trustees and Dr. John Roach, Superintendent.  The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for interested community members to discuss the issues at hand so that those comments/concerns can be shared with other CUSD board members.  In addition, these members of the school board will discuss what the process will entail in the next few months. This will be an AOE PTA sponsored event. 

Important Attendance Notice
All student's absences must be reported to Aviara Oaks Middle School Attendance Hotline (331-6170) each day the student is absent.  Our automated attendance dial out system calls out each evening to those parents who have not reported a student absent before 3:15 PM that day. (If you are not getting a courtesy call, please call the office at 331-6100 to update your phone information.)  Aviara has almost 900 students and one attendance clerk. Due to the high volume of unverified absences, we will no longer be able to call a 2nd time or send out notices, when parents do not respond to our automated system.  Any absence not called in, will be marked as unexcused.  Once a student has a total of three unexcused absences, they are classified as truant and the District Supervisor of Attendance will be notified of the truancy.

If a student has been deemed truant, the family may be referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) and may be directed to appear before SARB.  Members of SARB include a Carlsbad Police Officer, the San Diego County SARB Director, the Juvenile Justice Panel Coordinator, two school district nurses, and a member from Oceanside Lifeline.
