Mission Statement for Attendance Department
The
mission of the Camden City Public Schools' Attendance Department is to
help accomplish the goal of education our diverse student population by
ensuring that every Camden City Public School Student is in school 91.5 %
of the time. Our district has an attendance policy that will help the
parents, our schools, and our community to keep students in school and
learning.
Goals of the Attendance Department
The goals of the department are:
- To enhance educational, social and economic opportunities for school age youth by impacting on their absenteeism and truancy;
- To impact on the systematic causes of truancy and absenteeism through linkage with juvenile service providers; and
- To reduce and prevent the incidence of juvenile delinquent acts during school hours.
Daytime Curfew is the Law
Title 18A: 38-31 Violations of article by parents or guardians; penalties.
Any child between the ages of at 6 and under 18 who is out of school
during regular school hours is subject to be picked up by the police
unless he/she is accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Services of the Attendance Office to Maintain Attendance Percentile
The
primary duties of the officers are designed to aid the district in
maintaining a high attendance percentile. Attendance officers
investigate students absent in assigned schools on a daily basis by
servicing student absence slips from the schools. The officers are
required to keep daily and weekly reports on student absences and check
on the absences from their assigned schools. Parents and guardians are
notified of conferences as requested by school officials regarding
attendance related problems. Home visits of excessively absent students
are conducted and the officers report their findings to the supervising
chief attendance officer and the school. Parents who are not in
compliance with state law 18 A:38-25 are taken to court.
Officers
will check on student transfers within the district and out of the
district to make certain that the students have reported to their
receiving schools. They will also investigate a student's change of
address and use every resource available to locate these students.
Any suspected violations of the state's child labor laws or child welfare laws are reported.
