ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
District policy is as follows:
The school year consists of 180 school days. Attendance is the presence of a student on days when school is in session. Students may be counted present only when they are actually at school, on homebound instruction, or are present at a school activity which is authorized by the school. This may include field trips, athletic contests, academic contests, music festivals, student conventions and similar activities.
Students must have 120 hours of seat time to earn a Carnegie unit (60 hours for a ½ unit).
This limits all absences to 10 days (5 days for a ½ unit). This includes all days missed – excused, unexcused, bereavement, medical, etc.
When students have three (3) consecutive or five (5) total unexcused or unverified absences (by class and/or school day) the school will contact parents and develop a truancy intervention plan (TIP) for improved attendance. Students under 17 years of age who violate a TIP will be referred to a higher authority for truancy. Parents will be required to meet with administration to develop plan.
If you are not in class, you are marked absent!
*Only five (5) days can be made up to count toward ATTENDANCE RECOVERY.
ATEC STUDENTS
ALL students will ride the bus to and from ATEC every day. If you are late and miss the bus to ATEC, your parent must sign you in at ATEC. Students of parents choosing not to take them to ATEC due to late arrival will remain in ISS until 3rd block or until students return from ATEC. Driving privileges for students going to ATEC will be at the principal’s discretion.
