I am writing to inform you that my child, (Childs Name), was absent from school on (Date of Absence). I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I hope that you understand our reasons for the absence. (Childs Name) was unable to attend school on (Date of Absence) due to (Reason for Absence).
Under Maryland law, a truant student is one who is unlawfully absent from school for more than: 8 days in any quarter, 15 days in any semester, OR. 20 days in a school year.
What is TRUANCY? Students absent without a valid excuse for more than (equal to 3 full school days) in one school year shall be classified as truant and a truancy letter will be sent home. After the first truancy, a student will receive an additional truancy letter for each additional 2 days of absence.
Habitual Truant Mandate The law further requires that after a student has been reported as a truant three or more times in one school year and after an appropriate school employee has made a conscientious effort to hold at least one meeting with the parent and the student, the student is deemed a habitual truant.
Too many absences are serious not only for students, but also for parents, too. Schools handle minor truancy with warning letters, parent-teacher conferences and other means. However, in some states, parents can be fined when their kids miss too much school.

People also ask

The family receives a letter stating that their child is truant and they may be taken to court if the absenteeism continues. When this happens, a punitive response can seriously harm the relationship between the school and family.
Truancy is essentially unexcused absences from school or an education system. Students that miss too many days of school are at risk of district or legal action.
