Attendance Policy Overview
Students WILL NOT be cleared if they leave campus without first clearing it with the Health Aide and/or Attendance Clerk.
Tardies are NOT EXCUSABLE as we need to accurately record a student's whereabouts. Please do not try to explain your individual circumstances.
If a student has three tardies in a class, the teacher will discuss this concern with them. After the discussion, if the student continues to have tardy issues, the teacher will contact the parent/guardian. If the tardies continue after that, a formal referral may be written and an AVP will follow up with the family to address the concern. The students will begin fresh each quarter thereafter. There is no compromise for seat time. We really want our students to have access to learning and thus want to ensure they are in their classes ready to learn.
To Clear an Absence
Call or send a handwritten note excusing an absence within 5 five days. EMAILS ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE NOTE for excusal. An administrative vice principal’s approval is required to clear absences after five days.
