Any pupil subject to a compulsory full-time education
is considered truant under the following conditions:
- Three unexcused absences within
on report card period.
- Three unexcused tardies within one
report card period.
- Any combination thereof.
Students who have excessive excused absences and tardies
are subject to truancy policies and procedures.
Any student who is classified as truant will meet
with appropriate school personnel to discuss solutions
to the pupil’s truancy. Should the truancy continue,
the parent/guardian will be required to attend an Emery
Unified School Attendance Review Board meeting to determine
what can be done to improve the student’s attendance.

Safety is a major concern at Anna Yates. We ask
parents to support our efforts in providing a safe environment
for students by reinforcing school and classroom rules,
and appropriate school behavior. We beseech parents
to follow safe driving practices around our school and
drop off and pick up students at curbside's and not
from the middle of the street.

The report card used at Anna Yates is based on
California State Standards. Report Cards are issued
at the end of each trimester. Parents need to attend
teacher-parent conferences scheduled in November. Additional
conferences may be requested at any time by written
or verbal request with the teacher.
Label your child’s possession so that lost items
may be returned (including classroom numbers). Do not
write the phone number or name where it is visible on
the personal possessions for safety reasons. The school
is not responsible for lost or damaged items.
^Top^
Lost items are to be taken to the office where they
will be placed in a secured area. Lost items will be
available in the multipurpose room for students and
parents on Thursdays from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Lost
items are stored for one week only. Unclaimed items
will be donated to a local charity.
