ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES
Absence
Regular attendance is very important for a successful middle school experience. If you are absent for any reason, your parent or guardian is to report your absence by telephone to the attendance secretary the first day. Call 619-362-3550 and ask for Attendance at ext. 3021. Returning students for whom no telephone contact was made must report to the Attendance Office with a note signed by a parent immediately.
It is highly recommended that medical and dental appointments be made during non-school hours. Appointments which cannot be made outside of the school day, should be scheduled during passing periods to limit classroom disruption. A note or telephone call from the parent or guardian is required before classes start on the day of the appointment.
Tardy Procedures
Students are expected to be in their seats when the bell rings. Students who are tardy will receive disciplinary action by both the teacher and/or administration. Citizenship marks are affected by tardies.
Leaving Campus/Blue Slips
No student is permitted to leave the school grounds during the day without permission from the Attendance Office. Students are considered to be on the school grounds from the moment they get out of the car or school bus. Students are required to sign out of the Attendance Office when leaving the grounds. Photo ID must be shown by all adults picking up students before the end of the school day.
