Students are not allowed on the campus before 7:30 AM unless they are
involved in a supervised school activity. In addition, students must be picked
up after school before 2:30 PM.
ATTENDANCE
If a student is absent from school, the absence must be reported by calling
the school office. The student’s name, the day and date of the absence, the
reason for the absence and relationship of the person reporting the absence
(i.e., mom, dad, grandma) should be stated. The student should also bring a
note signed by the parent/guardian describing the reason for the absence to
the office the day the student returns to school.
The following are the only legal excuses that will be accepted by the office for
absences and tardies as given in Education Code 48205.
1. Personal illness
2. Quarantine under the direction of the county or city health officer.
3. Medical, dental, optometric or chiropractic appointments, court
appearance.
4. Attendance at funeral services.
5. Participation in religious instruction or exercises in accordance with district
policy. The student must attend at least the minimum school day and shall
not be excused for more than 4 school days per month.
Family vacations are unexcused absences. Excessive absences due to
illness (more than 14 days) must be verified by a physician (RUSD board
policy 5113). Excessive absences will result in a referral to the School
Attendance Review Board (SARB).
Tardies
Students are expected to be seated in their classrooms and ready to work
when the bell rings signaling the start of each period including Period 1.
Students will face the following consequences for tardies:
1st Tardy Warning
Subsequent Tardy Loss of 10 merits
A student arriving at school past 7:50 AM must obtain a tardy slip in the
office before going to class. A note should accompany your student stating
the reason for the tardy. Missing the bus, over-sleeping or heavy traffic are
not excused tardies. Any student who is tardy to school in excess of 30
minutes, on more than three days in one school year is considered truant. In
El Dorado County, chronic truancy, and/or tardies may result in a referral to
the El Dorado County School Attendance Board, (SARB).
Long Term Absences
In the event of an illness, which causes a student to miss 3 or more days of
school, a request for homework should be made by the parent/guardian.
Work may be picked up in the school office after 2:15 PM. Please check
www.schoolnotes.com for assignments. Independent study contracts will
be available only upon approval by the administration for absences of more
than 5 days. Requests for independent study must be made by the parent at
least one week prior to the absence.
There is no substitute for classroom instruction. Parents/Guardians should
make every effort to insure students are present on each school day and
plan family trips outside the school calendar. The teachers will make a
reasonable effort to provide missed work, however, a student’s grade may be
adversely affected due to missed instruction.
Early Checkouts
Please arrange for doctor and dentist appointments after school hours. Early
checkouts from school cause a disruption to the instructional program. If an
early checkout is necessary, please come to the office.
