Late Policy: Students are expected to be inside their classrooms ready to begin instruction before the last bell rings. Students arriving to school should follow the following school guidelines:

• Arriving 0-9 minutes late, students report directly to class.

• Arriving 10+ minutes late, students are to go directly to the attendance office for a late pass before going to class. 

• Students should report to any portion of class if they arrive late while class is still in session (i.e. a student arriving with only 15 minutes left in Block 1 should check in at the attendance class and then go directly to Block 1 for the final minutes of class).

• If a student arrives between blocks, but was marked absent to earlier blocks, check in with attendance to report your absence from earlier classes.

 

Late arrivals due to illness, medical appointments, or other excused reasons, will be marked "Excused Late," when documentation or email from parents is provided. Traffic is not an excused reason for being late to school.

Steele Canyon High School recognizes the relationship between positive student attendance and academic success. Steele Canyon expects students to attend regularly and punctually and encourages parents to actively support this behavior. Truancy and tardiness to school/class may result in a loss of opportunity for maximum time on task, a decreased level of learning, a disruption to others' learning processes and loss of privileges.

You can access more information regarding Attendance in our Student Handbook here.
