Students should attend all scheduled classes unless officially excused. Absences, unless waived by the principal, require a written and signed excuse from the parent or guardian when the student returns. Medical, dental, and legal appointments should be cleared with the principal designee before the student leaves the building. The District is required to file a petition with Juvenile Court for students who accumulate 7 unexcused absences in a month or 10 in one year. Parents are notified by the school of any unexcused absences.
Students are responsible for being on time to all classes.
When tardiness becomes chronic or disruptive, school authorities will try to correct the situation fairly and reasonably. Students share the responsibility of maintaining a proper learning atmosphere.
