Participating in a Cultural Ceremony or Event?

Families are reminded that California law allows students to receive an excused absence when they are away from school for the purpose of participating in a cultural ceremony or event.

Under California Education Code Section 48205, “cultural” refers to the habits, practices, beliefs, and traditions of a group of people.

If your student will be participating in a cultural ceremony or event during the school year, please contact your school in advance so staff can help you plan for the absence and any schoolwork that may be missed.

DNUSD students may also have opportunities to complete an Independent Study Contract and receive additional academic support surrounding their absence.

For more information, contact your child’s school.
