  5. Phone Bank Team Guidelines Call all of the numbers listed on the student’s attendance record (AT10) until you are able to establish contact with a parent or guardian • Introduce yourself with your name, and state that you are calling on behalf of the school • If no one is available, leave a message requesting a call back to the Pupil Services staff member at the school

  6. No-Show and Potential Dropouts • A student who is listed on the No Show or Potential Dropout is not currently enrolled at an LAUSD school • Inquire if the student is enrolled in any school • If so, please ask for the name, location, and phone number of the school, and ask for the approximate date that the student enrolled • If not, gather information and engage the parent in taking the next step to further their child’s education

  7. No-Shows and Potential Dropouts(Cont.) • If the student is not enrolled: • Ask the parent how long the student has been out of school, and why? • Offer available resources if appropriate • Counseling • Parenting classes • Substance abuse rehabilitation • The Pupil Services staff member is available to help.

History of Excessive Absences • Introduce yourself and explain that you are calling from the school to discuss the student’s attendance. • Inquire if the parent is aware of any reasons why the student has missed so much school. • Express concern about the impact of excessive absences on academic progress. • If you think it is appropriate, inform the parent of California Compulsory Education Code (EC 48200), which mandates that all children ages 6 to 18-years-old must attend school. • Encourage the parent to meet with the Pupil Services staff member for a conference to discuss possible solutions, to request resources or to consider alternative educational options.
