A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
I hope you have enjoyed your weekend.
Happy National School Counselors Week! This week we are showing our appreciation for our amazing trio of counselors Jami, Melissa and Nicole. They do so much for each of us and for our students. Please stop by or send them a note letting them know how much they mean to you.
Last Wednesday, I had an opportunity to meet with our PFT reps regarding a variety of issues. They will be following up with you, meanwhile, I wanted to clarify for you our practices regarding student attendance. We follow the PUSD Attendance and Discipline policy that states that students will receive the 1st Chronic Absence letter after 6 unverified absences (UNV), the 2nd Chronic Absence letter after 12 unverified absences, and the 3rd after the 18th unverified absence. Students are then referred to the School Attendance and Review Team (SART) after their 20th absence. The SART team designs a plan to help support the student and the family in improving attendance. If the poor attendance pattern continues, the student is then referred to the district’s School Attendance and Review Board (SARB). This body has the ability to take legal action against the family. If you have any questions regarding the attendance of a specific student, please contact Rod Jiu.
Thanks so much and have a great week.
