  • If student leaves without a pass, it is a truancy and cannot be changed
  • ILL students must check out through the Health Office.
LATE ARRIVAL TO SCHOOL: Students arriving late to school will need to check-in at the Attendance Window to obtain a re-admit slip before going to their class. Students who check-in and do not attend class will be marked truant and are subject to progressive disciplinary action. 
 
EXCUSED ABSENCES: San Dieguito Union High School District observes and adheres to California Education Code 48205 when excusing student absences. Student’s absences that meet the criteria for the SDUHSD School Board Policy will be marked as excused. Please make every effort to schedule medical and dental appointments during non-school hours. After a student has accrued 20 periods of illness or medically excused absences during the school year, Administration may request documentation for any or all illnesses and/or medical appointments. 
PERSONAL/UNEXCUSED ABSENCES: A student absence can only be excused if the reason for the absence, as reported by the parent/guardian, meets the criteria specified in SDUHSD’s School Board Policy. All other reported absences will be marked as “personal” absences and are considered truancies by the State of CA. A truancy letter will be issued after 12 periods of personal and/or unexcused absences. 
ATTENDANCE DISCREPANCIES: If you believe your student was marked absent in error by a teacher, please communicate with that teacher to make the correction. The teacher will email attendance for a correction. If the error is not by the teacher, please communicate with the Attendance Office to notify them of the discrepancy within 48 hours of its posting.
 
AERIES PORTAL ACCOUNTS: Attendance information for students is in the Aeries student and parent portals and we recommend monitoring it regularly. For support on how to login to the student portal, please visit my.sduhsd.net. For questions about the parent portal, please contact the school.
MISSING INSTRUCTION & MAKE-UP WORK: Regular attendance is a critical part of academic success and wellness. Classroom instruction cannot be replicated after an absence, so attending class consistently is the best way for a student to succeed. Given the difficulty in making-up missed work, we highly recommend avoiding unnecessary absences. Missing labs, presentations, and tests can cause heavy stress for students. After an absence, please remember: 
  • Students will be given a reasonable amount of time to make-up missed work after an excused absence with a date and time. 
  • Make-up work for personal/unexcused absences is decided by each teacher. Many will NOT allow make up work, but if allotted, the teacher(s) shall determine the make-up work and time allowed. 
  • If absences become excessive (whether excused or unexcused) students will need to meet with their counselor and administrator to discuss interventions and support. 
 
STUDENTS WHO ARE 18:
Students who are 18 years of age and older may sign notes to excuse their absences or leave campus; all attendance procedures and SDUHSD Board Policies apply. Medical documentation may be requested at any time to support absences due to illness or medical appointments. Students who are unable to provide documentation for an absence when requested will have their absence marked as personal. Students who are self reporting absences are subject to review by an Assistant Principal to ensure the privilege is not overused. 
 
COLLEGE VISITS:
Students in grades 11 and 12 are allotted 3 days of college visitations per school year (AR 5113). SDUHSD’s College Visitation Form will need to be completed and submitted one week before the absence to ensure approval by an Assistant Principal. To officially excuse this absence, proof of college visitation will need to be submitted to the attendance office within 48 hours upon completion of the visit.
 
SCHOOL VERIFIED ABSENCES (school business absences such as field trips, testing, school sponsored club competitions, ASB, PALS, CCA Athletics) can only be cleared by a school official.  A roster is provided, by the school official in charge of the event, to the Attendance Office.  If your student is absent due to an academic or athletic event that is not sponsored by the school, it must be reported and is a personal absence, not a school verified absence.
