Attendance
SCHS Attendance Office is an email only system (phone calls are no longer used to clear attendance or request off campus passes). Parents can also come in person to speak with attendance.
Here are two email addresses that our attendance office will be using
-
For Off Campus Passes: offcampuspass@schscougars.org
-
To Clear an Absence: attendance@schscougars.org
Clear by replying to SCHS: You can also clear absences by responding to our daily attendance notifications. Steele Canyon sends daily emails, text messages, and phone calls through ParentSquare—our communication system—to notify you if a student has missed one or more class periods.
Both the email and text message will include a link you can use to reply and clear the absence.
Please remember that you have three (3) days to clear an absence. After that time, the absence will be marked as truancy and recorded on your child’s permanent record.
If you know your child will be absent in advance, you are encouraged to notify us ahead of time. Doing so may allow you to request a Short-Term Independent Study contract, which not only clears the absence but, if completed, ensures that the absence does not count against your child’s attendance record.
Clearing Late Arrivals: If your student reports to school more than 10 minutes late, students report directly to class rather than checking in at the attendance office. If your student is late due to an excused reason (illness, medical appointment, etc.), parents will excuse the late arrival by emailing the attendance@schscougars.org to verify the reason for the late arrival.

For Parents
At Steele Canyon High School, we believe that education is most effective when it involves a strong partnership between parents and the school community. We encourage parents to take an active role in their child's education, contributing their insights, talents, and time to enhance the overall learning experience. Together, we can shape the future of our students and help them thrive in a supportive and engaging atmosphere.

5Star
5Star Student Hall Passes
We have implemented a digital Hall Pass system for our students to better manage when our Cougars are out of class. Students and teachers can access passes from inside their classrooms. We are also asking students who arrive more than 10 minutes late to class to go directly to class and sign in on 5Star as opposed to reporting to the attendance office. Parents/guardians can still clear excused lates by emailing attendance@schscougars.org
5Star Student Student IDs
In order to provide options for our students, Cougars can access their 5Star Student IDs by downloading the 5Star student app through the app store. (Apple Store or Google Play). These digital IDs can be used for cafeteria meal pick up, exiting campus, showing participation in club activities, etc. Physical student IDs are always an option as well.
