“Students need to be on time, attend school regularly, and attend all assigned classes.”ABSENCES
- If a student is absent for more than one day, please call the Attendance Office. Upon return to school, parent must write and sign a note giving dates(s) and reason for absence.
- Excessive absences will require a parent conference.
- Please schedule appointments (medical, dental, DMV) after school hours.
- If a student knows that he/she will be absent for 3 or more days, a note must be brought to the Attendance Office prior to the absence. It is the student’s responsibility to get homework and classwork from teachers prior to leaving.
- Students who have been absent must allow extra time to pick up their re-admit before their first period to avoid being marked tardy to class.
- Students who arrive to their first period class more than ten minutes late without a valid written reason from a parent will be marked absent and will be assigned detention.
- Students who are truant the last period of their school day will be assigned a Saturday School.
OFF CAMPUS PASSES
- Leaving Campus: Students who need to leave campus early should bring a note from a parent indicating the reason for leaving and release time. Students should bring the note to the attendance office before going to their first class. The Attendance Office will call the parent to verify the request and will issue an off-campus pass to the student. If a parent picks up a student to go off campus, a valid photo I.D. (driver’s license) must be presented to the office staff. A student who becomes ill or needs to leave during school hours must come to the nurse to get an Off-Campus Pass before leaviing campus. Students who leave campus without a pass will be assigned a Saturday School.
- Senior Privilege: Seniors may leave campus for lunch if a permission slip, signed by a parent in front of school personnel, is on file in the Attendance Office. Seniors who do not return from lunch while on senior privilege will be considered truant and will be assigned a Saturday school. If a senior cannot return to school, a parent must call the attendance office the same day. Senior privilege will be revoked for excessive tardies, truancies, or lending an I.D. to another student. Senior privilege is a privilege and not a right.
- Off-campus Lunch Pass (underclassmen): Students who live within two blocks of the school may go home for lunch. A directory of “qualified” streets is available in the attendance office. A parent must come to the attendance office to sign the application. The application must be renewed each year. A color-coded sticker will be attached to the student’s I.D. card for verification.
- ROP Enrollment: A color-coded sticker will be attached to the I.D. card of students who need to leave campus early to attend a ROP class.
