Attendance Matters at Santiago!
Reducing California’s high chronic absenteeism rates is a priority in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
A "chronic absentee" has been defined in California Education Code (EC) Section 60901(c)(1) as "a pupil who is absent on 10 percent or more of the school days in the school year when the total number of days a pupil is absent is divided by the total number of days the pupil is enrolled and school was actually taught in the regular day schools of the district, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays."
Across the country, more than 8 million students are missing so many days of school that they are academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions, can translate into third-graders unable to master reading, sixth-graders failing subjects and ninth-graders dropping out of high school.
This year Santiago, in cooperation with CNUSD, is taking steps to ensure students are attending school more regularly. Santiago High School will notify parents/guardians of attendance bi-weekly through our student information system (Q). As always, we encourage you to regularly check Q attendance and report any discrepancies.
ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION CRITERIA
LETTER 1: COURTESY LETTER
- 3 or more days of school (excused and unexcused absences)
- No action required from parents/guardians. Parent/Guardian may request a meeting to review attendance.
LETTER 2: WARNING LETTER
- 7 or more days of school (excused and unexcused absences)
- No action required from parents/guardians. Parent/Guardian may request a meeting to review attendance.
LETTER 3: SART NOTIFICATION
- 10 or more days of school (excused and unexcused absences)
- School clerk will contact parents/guardians to attend a mandatory attendance review meeting with the student's school administrator.
After School Pick Up - 2:30 pm
PARKING DURING SCHOOL HOURS - PARK IN THE FOOTHILL DROPOFF
In order to have enough space for our staff in the upper parking lot, Santiago is asking parents to park on the Foothill drop off area when picking up your child, dropping something off, or if you have a scheduled meeting on campus. Curbs have been painted white and it is no longer a red zone. Thank you for your cooperation.
