Truancy

Hi everyone, while I was in a public high school i missed a three days of class and forgot to turn in a note to the registrar's office (I was a freshman and only 14 years old at the time.) I went to the county court and participated in a choices and consequences class for 4 weeks in the summer, and I never plead guilty, I just plead no contest. Basically, in exchange for the classes and a fee of 90$ to the court, it was all expunged. I wasn't skipping class actively, I just forgot to turn in notes which resulted in 3 "unexcused absences" with my school. No other disciplinary actions were taken, I wasn't sent to an alternative school, wasn't delayed for graduation, pretty much nothing.
What i'm asking is, I should mention this on my law school applications right? truancy is a class C misdemeanor and most applications ask for a record of any violations with the law, so naturally this should be added in correct?
Also, what does this do for my chances of acceptance at T-14?
EDIT: i also transferred schools shortly after that, so besides one or two speeding tickets, nothing else is on my record.
