All students who have been absent must report to the Attendance Window to get a re-admin slip. Any absence, unless cleared by phone or a note, will be considered truant. Any unexecused tardy over 30 minutes is considered a truancy. De Anza Middle School, as part of the Ontario-Montclair School District , considers homework to be an integral part of each student's total learning experience. As students progress through the year, it is expected that they will supplement their classroom learning experiences with reading and practice outside the regular school hours.
Research shows that students who do more homework are more successful in school.
Middle school students should spend approximately one and one-half hours per night for a minimum of four nights per week on homework activities. You can help your child by providing a quiet place and a set time for completing homework. Additionally, every student will be provided with a Cougar Learning Record . You should ask to see this assignment record on a daily basis. Reading books is an ongoing requirement for English, Reading, and Social Science classes.
