The best thing to do in these situations is to tell the truth. Tell the court what you have told us. All of us at one time or another have forgotten to log in or punch a time card, the court is aware of these things.
Download what you can to prove that you actually did the work you say you did. All computers have memories. If you work off a laptop computer bring it to court with you and be prepared to show the judge the computer history for those days.
You should also have a lawyer with you. If you cannot afford one ask the court to appoint one. This is important so that your rights are protected and the court is made aware of why you cyber school.
Should this be your first time being cited for truancy I would not be too concerned. The court could just admonish you to be more careful or put you on some type of monitoring.
No matter what do not go to court without a lawyer. If this is your first truancy the school system may be trying to bring you back in to the brick and mortar building as cyber schooling cost them more than regular schooling. This is where having a lawyer is in your best interest.

you just talk to the judge while you are their. dont lie to him or else you will be bad off. i had to go to court for curfew and he let me go with just paying court cost. does it now show what days you took these tests on? it should show on your computer. Bring him a report card and explain you want to go to harved tell him you are a hard worker you just forgot to log your hours.
