Attendance

A student will be marked absent by each teacher at any time he/she is not present in his/her scheduled class.  When a student returns following an absence the Attendance Office must be notified within 48 hours (not including non-school days) by means of a parents or guardian note or telephone call stating the reason for the absence.

Failure to clear an absence with a legitimate reason within 48 hours will result in a truancy being marked on the attendance.

A doctor's note is required after three (3) absences pertaining to medical or illness.  The absence will be considered unexcused on the 4th day unless a doctor's note is submitted.  

Class Cuts or Full Day Truancy

For each full day truancy and repeat violations, the following consequences may be assigned:

 

1. After School Detention
2. School Attendance Review Team Referral
3. Suspension
4. Referral to School Attendance Review Board
5. Referral to Alternative Education

The automated caller will notify parents of all students who are absent at least one period during the day.

2023-2024 Tardy Policy

The Citrus Valley High School staff believes that success in school is dependent upon punctual, regular attendance and quality use of instructional time. It is also the goal of all members of the school community to represent CLASS: Character, Leadership, Attitude, Scholarship, and Service. To this end, students must regularly attend class, be on time, and be ready to learn.

Tardiness is defined as:

1. A student who is not in his or her classroom or assigned instructional area when the bell rings or as defined by the teacher.

2. Any student who is tardy by more than 30 minutes will be recorded as an unexcused absence for the period.

   Consequences:

   By Period	Cumulative
   Tardy 1-4: Warning - Teacher Tardy 5: Detention Tardy 6-10: Phone call home Tardy 10: Detention and Campus Service Tardy 11+: Cumulative consequences apply	Tardy 1-10: Teacher warning Tardy 11: Detention Tardy 15: Detention – phone call home Tardy 21+: Referral to administration and Campus Service; placed on NO-GO list Tardy 31: Referral to administration – Campus Service, SART Referral

    

   • Detentions will be held after school at the Campus Safety Office and are 45 minutes long.

   • Campus Service will be held every Wednesday, after school. Students must report to the Campus Safety Office

   • Failure to serve a detention will result in a rescheduled detention PLUS campus service.

   • Further failures to serve will result in progressive discipline by administration.

 

Placement on the NO-GO List:

Students who receive 20 TOTAL tardies will be placed on the “No-Go” list. Students will not participate in extracurricular activities until their name is removed from the “No-Go” list.

**Participation in extracurricular activities including: dances, sports, music, theatre, etc. are dependent on being a positive, productive, and professional member of CVHS Community.

 

REMOVAL from the NO-GO List:

 Community Service will be calculated in 1-hour increments, only, and “remove” six Tardies per one hour. A certified adult (teacher, coach, employer, mentor) must monitor all community service. All signatures/hours will be verified before a student is removed from the NO-GO List. The No-Go list is updated bi-weekly. It is the responsibility of the student to complete all necessary paperwork for removal from the No-Go List. Please see your designated administrator for details.
