7. Attendance:…Daily classroom attendance is directly related to your level of academic success. “Absent” is defined as
nonattendance in an assigned class or activity for more than one-half of the period. (PUHSD Governing Board Policy J-1561
JHR.) “Tardy” is defined as not being in the assigned class or activity when the tardy bell has finished ringing. (PUHSD
Governing Board Policy J-1561 JHR.) Students who find themselves tardy or absent are expected to follow the PUHSD policy
regarding absences and tardies. Parents/guardians will be notified of the student’s absences 1-3. A formal referral will be
written on absences 3-4. A conference will be scheduled for absences 5-7. More formal correspondence and/or assignment to
an “Attendance Success Group” will be accomplished with 8-10 absences. With 10+ absences a discipline referral will be
issued for assignment to In School Suspension. An attendance hearing will be requested by the 12th absence. Students may be
dropped from class and/or receive no credit at the 12th absence. Tardiness to class may result in any of the following;
detention after school or a referral to the dean. The best way to contact me is through e-mail: goggin@phoenixunion.org_____
