Welcome Back!

Class Changes
Tardy Policy Reminder
It is important for your student to be on time to class. Students miss out on vital information and instruction when they arrive tardy to class. To help encourage positive attendance habits, students that are tardy to class 3 or more times in a week will be assigned lunch detention.
Please impress upon your student the importance of arriving to class on time.
Loss of Privilege (LOP)
With the start of a new semester, we're giving all students a fresh start in terms of attendance and behavior, i.e. No one is on the Loss of Privilege list.
Students are placed on the LOP list if they have:
more than 10 period truancies (There is a difference between an ¨explained¨ absence [called in by the parent so the student is not truant but still requiring under California Ed Code that we ask students to attend school to ¨make up” the attendance time] and a truancy [student should be in school and either willfully does not attend or there is no parent contact to the Attendance office within 72 hours of the absence].
failed to serve assigned detention(s)
had a significant behavior incident discussed with you by an Administrator
