Note that "core courses" are scheduled three times each week
Research shows that good attendance is directly related to success in school.
Attendance Policy:
- Excused Absences:
An excused absence includes personal illness, quarantine (directed by a doctor), medical appointments or funeral services for a family member. Students can also be excused for justifiable reasons including religious reasons, court appearances, jury duty, etc. Students, parents, and guardians are encouraged to make all appointments after school or during school holidays.
Upon return to school, following an excused absence, student must:
- Bring a signed note from parent/guardian. Notes must state the reason and exact length of absence. Students with forged notes or phone calls will be referred for disciplinary measures.
- Clear the absence with the Attendance Office immediately. (Notes will be time-date stamped and cleared via computer. The clearance list is published for teachers on a regular basis.) An absence must be cleared within five (5) days upon the student's return to school. After 5 days, the absence will remain unexcused.
- Truancy: Truancy is the absence from school without a legal excuse. Any student who is absent without a valid excuse for three full days in one school year is considered truant and in violation of California law (EC 48260).
- Excessive Unexcused Absences (20) will results in severe consequences such as:
- Police citation
- Non-promotion
- Exclusion from school activities
- Loss of graduation privileges
- Referral to District School Attendance Review Board (SARB)
- Saturday School
Each time a student is late to class he/she will be marked tardy. Three tardies will equal one absence.
Tardy Policy:
Students must arrive at school promptly at the beginning of each school day, and must be in their seats and prepared to do the work for class at the beginning of each period. In an effort to reduce/eliminate student tardies, please note the following:
- Regular tardy sweeps will be held and detention will be assigned to habitual offenders.
- Excessive tardies will result in severe disciplinary action.
- Unexcused tardies will result in parent notification and/or conference, as well as referral to the Dean's Office.
Students must be in class by 9:40 a.m. on Mondays and 7:50 a.m. the rest of the week in order to not be marked tardy. To allow enough time for students to get to class, they should be at school no later than 9:30 a.m. on Mondays and 7:40 a.m. on Tuesday through Friday.
Students who have more than 2 unexcused tardies to school per grading period will go through the following consequences:
- After school detention
- Saturday School detention
- Behavior / attendance contract
- Parent / teacher conference
- Possible revoking of Marshall permit at the end of the school year
To have a tardy excused, a student must bring a note from the parent /guardian or the parent/guardian must call the Attendance Office no later than 12 noon.
