Consistent and punctual attendance is critical for career success, therefore, Montecito attendance policies are designed to teach our students how to function successfully in the world of work. As an alternative high school, the State of California requires that credit be awarded based on productive seat time.
Seat time includes attendance and seat work.
Seat work is the individual work assigned or required by the teacher. Attendance in class and productive seat work are required in order to earn course credit. Homework will not be accepted for credit unless tardies or absences are cleared. Students who have the required seat time to earn the 3 credits per quarter, may complete additional homework to earn no more than 6 total credits per class per quarter. All absences or tardies within the quarter must be made up in that quarter.
