ATTENDANCE & TARDY POLICY

Students who miss more than three days of school (unexcused/unverified) WILL BE referred to the School Attendance Review Board for consideration by the District Attorney. Below are the seven valid reasons for students to miss school and make up work is only allowed if their absence is based on one of these valid reasons: 1. Illness (up to three days can be verified by parents, longer duration will require a doctor’s note) 2. Quarantine by health officer 3. Medical, dental or optometric appointments 4. Funeral services of an immediate family member 5. Religious holiday 6. School field trip or activity 7. Personal (up to three days per school year with prior administrator approval) Procedure following an absence: Verification of the absence must be made within 24 hours to the attendance office. The parent/

guardian may call the attendance office at (714) 220-4175/ 4177 or send a signed note with their student to give to the attendance office.

Students who accumulate ten unexcused absences (two weeks of instruction time) in a class may receive a failing course grade for that semester and/or may result in a schedule change. Teachers’ individual policies regarding make-up work after excused absences will be found in their class curriculum letter/syllabus. Missed assignments and exams due to unexcused absences cannot be made up. Student attendance record is available on Aeries and codes for unexcused absences are recorded as U (unexcused), A (absent), or T (truant). Students who are truant from one to two periods will receive two hours of detention for each period. Three or more period truancies will result in a disciplinary referral.

NO EXCUSES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR FIRST PERIOD TARDIES,

except for doctor/dental notes and illness/health problem verified by school’s health technician. Parents may not excuse students who arrive late for any reason.

If a doctor/dental note is not presented during first period or the student verified ill/health problem by the health technician, the following consequences will apply: Student will sign in at the attendance office upon arrival before going to class and will receive a

detention that will be used as their pass to class Upon the 3rd tardy, a phone call home will be made Upon the 6th tardy, a meeting with the student’s assistant principal will be scheduled. An

attendance contract may be developed. If student does not live in the attendance area for Cypress High School, team will discuss options for improving student’s attendance up to and including potential return to student’s home school.

#BeKind21

During the month of September, AUHSD will be participating in the 21 Days to be Kind Challenge.

What's the challenge? Help us make kindness - to ourselves and to our communities - a habit by practicing an act of kindness each day from September 1st to September 21st! Why are we doing this (and why should you join us)? Now more than ever, we need to prioritize the wellness of our own minds and bodies and of our communities. We need to transform the way we care for ourselves and to strengthen the bonds that hold us together - one human to another. Science says, doing something for 21 consecutive days helps turn it into a habit. That’s why Born This Way Foundation is inviting you to join their 21 Days To Be Kind challenge, starting on September 1st, making it a habit to put kindness into action and fostering a culture of compassion and wellness in the process. (Can't start on September 1st? That's ok! Just start your 21 days anytime before September 21st.)

Sign up to get trained in Mental Health First Aid

and learn how to help someone in your life facing

a mental health crisis or challenge.

Visit Born This Way Foundation for more

information and a chance to win two Lady Gaga

tickets to an upcoming show.

Check out what other people are doing for the

challenge and share your own experience with the

hashtag #BeKind21.
