Attendance & Tardy Policy
Attendance & Tardy Policy
Regular attendance is an integral part of student academic success. Each student is assigned an academic advisor, who is committed to keeping track of your student's progress at Sunset HS. One of the key components to graduating from high school is being there! Students must be on time and in class by the start of class.
Students must attend school a minimum of 20 hours a week and are responsible for clocking in and out each day to record their hours. If the student needs to leave campus early, the parent/guardian MUST request permission from the front office before the student leaves campus.
Tardiness is any late appearance of a student beyond the scheduled time that a class begins.
Truancy is any unexcused absence that has not been cleared by a parent/guardian within 48 hours of the absence.
Tardiness is any late appearance of a student beyond the scheduled time that a class begins.
