Attendance

24 Hour Attendance: (408) 558-3065

During Office Hours, 7:30am-2:30pm: (408) 626-3405 x5110

Students are required to remain on campus for their entire school day, unless they are granted an Off Grounds Pass. Off Grounds Passes are granted ONLY for treatment of an injury, illness, or appointment. A parent must speak with the Attendance Clerk at least two hours before the time the student is to be released. Absences for students who leave without checking out will not be excused; students leaving campus without checking out will be marked truant and may be subject to disciplinary action

Obtaining an Off Grounds Pass

Please call 408-626-3405 x5110 at least two hours before the time you need to pick up your student for an appointment or any other reason.
An off-grounds pass will be generated and sent to your student in class so they are in the Front Office or at the gate waiting for you.
If your student returns from an appointment during the school day, you do not need to accompany them. Students come through the Main Office and will be directed to Student Services to sign in and go to class.

Clearing an Absence

All verifications (“clearing") of absences need to be completed within three days of the date of absence. They can be cleared by phone or in writing (this includes off-grounds passes).
If your student is sick, you can call 408-558-3065 24 hours a day to leave a message; or you can call 408-626-3405 x5110 from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
If your child is out ill for three days or more, we will need a doctor’s note in order to have the absences excused.
If you have a question about whether or not an absences is going to be cleared, please call the Student Service Center at (408) 626-3405 x5110.

Tardiness

If a student is late by 30 minutes or more they are considered to be LATE TRUANT for that class period. If they are late by fewer than 30 minutes, they will be listed as TARDY.
Clearing a student for being late follows the same guidelines as stated above for absences.
