No student will be released to anyone that is NOT listed as the guardian in Infinite Campus, unless it is a call initiated to listed parent/caregiver by a school staff member. Only parents/guardians can clear attendance.
We do not release students for in person pickups when there are less than 15 minutes left in the day. In addition we do not release students via phone after 2:30pm. We do not release students during nutrition break or during lunch over the phone, must be done in person or requested prior. A parent/guardian must pick up in person for all minor students (under the age of 18).
Students are required by state law to attend every class, every day. According to the SUHSD policy Regulation code AR 5113 (D, E), it has been established that it is reasonable to be absent 1 day a month, surpassing 10 days or 10% of absences is considered EXCESSIVE. Whether excused or unexcused, students can qualify for PRE-SARB, SARB, or Excessive Excused Absence Contracts.
All absences are initially recorded as unresolved until a phone call or a note (verified) from the parent/guardian (individuals who enrolled and are listed as primary contacts) is received by the attendance office.
Only parents/guardians listed on file are authorized to pick up students and clear attendance. If a parent/guardian would like to have someone from the emergency contact list, to pick up a student, the parent/guardian must provide prior authorization by phone before the student is released that day.
An automatic phone message (sent by the district) will be sent home after each un-cleared absence.
All absences, including those related to sports, extra-curricular activities, and/or testing, can take up to 2-3 school days to clear.
Any student submitting a forged or altered note or blue slip or phone call will face disciplinary action.
All absences must be cleared by parent within (30) calendar days according to the SUHSD policy Regulation code AR 5113 (D). This includes the submission of doctor's notes. If absences are not cleared within (30) calendar days, the student must clear absences through Saturday school.
Students MUST and WILL ONLY be excused from campus with an "OFF-CAMPUS" slip. If a student leaves without an OFF-CAMPUS slip, it will NOT be excused as this is considered a TRUANCY. When an OFF-CAMPUS slip is given, students MUST check out at the attendance gate/office. SEE BELOW for more information regarding OFF-CAMPUS permissions.
All parents/ guardians and students are encouraged to download the Infinite Campus App to their phone/ tablet in order to receive instant attendance notifications when a student is marked absent or tardy in a class.
Students who have excessive tardies and/or absences due to their medical condition will need to have a doctor’s note on file for the current school year. Once the form is completed and signed, please turn it in to the school nurse.
Parent(s)/ Guardians must come in person to the attendance office to sign the Off Campus Permit and pick up the student. Proper identification is required and the legal name must match the guardian information listed in Infinite Campus. Students should not be waiting in the office for parent to pick up.
No student will be released to anyone that is NOT listed as the guardian in Infinite Campus, unless it is a call initiated to listed parent/caregiver by a school staff member.
Students must report to the attendance office to pick up the “Off-Campus Permit” and sign out and are to check back in the attendance office if they return that day. Must bring your yellow slip back and please bring medical note upon return.
In order to keep students in a supervised, safe and orderly environment, the Board of Trustees establishes a closed campus at all district schools. Students shall not leave the school grounds at any time during the school day without written permission of their parents/guardians and school authorities prior to leaving campus. A student who leaves campus for any reason without prior authorization will be unexcused (coded TRUANT) which cannot be cleared by the parent. (Board Policy 5112.5)
Infinte Campus schedules must be show upon request at all times and presented to EHS personnel when leaving campus. The attendance exit is to be used when leaving during regularly scheduled hours.
Students who are 18 years old or older ARE STUDENTS FIRST and still require us to notify a parent/guardian. Students who are 18 years old who know they are leaving campus during the day MUST get an off campus permit in ADVANCE BEFORE leaving a class. A teacher must be able to see a yellow slip BEFORE a student leaves a classroom. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY. The attendance office is open at 7:30 AM and must be notified morning of before school begins at 8:30am.
