What if my child is absent?

Just be sure that he/she returns to school with a note excusing the absence. Be aware that there is an attendance limit of 5 absences per class – any more than that is considered excessive and an attendance notification letter will be sent home and the student will begin to lose credit in that class. This lost credit can be made up during the extended day program (3:10-4:30). For more information on this, see answer to FAQ about extended-day attendance make-up program.

Some absences do not count toward the attendance limit, such as a school activity, doctor's appointment, hospitalization, death in the family, or religious ceremony.

My child has had several absences. How can he/she take advantage of the Extended-Day Attendance Make-Up Program?

We' ve created this program to give students with excessive absences an opportunity to succeed. First, a make-up assignment needs to be arranged with the teacher of the course in which the attendance policy was exceeded. The student then must sign in at 3:10 with the Extended Day Teacher to get credit for the attendance make-up.

Also, to receive full credit, the work needs to be made up within one week of the absence that exceeded the attendance limit. After one week, 10% will be taken from the assignment grade for each day. After two weeks the student will not receive more than 50% of the assignment grade.

My son/daughter will be driving to school. What are the rules for parking?

For the safety of the students, it is required that they register their vehicles and receive a permit in order to park on campus. Students may park in the CAB parking lot only. Permits may be obtained at the student store. Students will not be permitted to "hang out" in the school parking lots during the instructional day.
