Attendance

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION

If your student will not be at school, please call the 24-hour attendance line at (916) 645-6580. You may also come into the office or send a note with your student when they return to school. Parents have 3 days to clear absences. If this is not met, absences become unexcused and detention will be assigned.  

A student may be excused legally from school when the absence is due to:

  • illness or injury;
  • medical appointments;
  • funeral services for immediate family;
  • court appearances;
  • quarantine by health officer, including not providing proof of immunization;
  • observation of his/her religion;
  • family emergencies.

SHORT TERM INDEPENDENT STUDY/TRAVEL STUDY

Short Term Independent Study (Travel Study) may be granted to students that meet the following criteria:

  • All Short Term Independent Study inquiries go through the attendance office and can be given for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 15 school days. 

  • A student can have several short term independent studies in one year, but the total number of days of independent study is 15 days over the course of the school year.

  • Short Term Independent Study can be granted for short term illness, emergency, and vacation.

  • Students must have a 2.5 GPA or better in the previous grading period and meet attendance requirements. 

  • The parents or guardians must complete an independent study contract at least five days in advance of their student leaving school; this gives the teachers appropriate time to gather assignments and turn them into the attendance office. 

  • All work must be completed on time and returned to the office upon their return to school. Failure to complete the work will result in the absences becoming unexcused. 

  • Short Term Independent Studies will not be granted during finals week, CAASPP testing and during the first week of the new semester. Please consult our calendars for these dates - click here.

  • To initiate a short term independent study, contact your student’s Assistant Principal or the attendance office.

To initiate a short term independent study, contact Liz Finn in the LHS attendance office (916 645 6380).
