All students are expected to wear their ID’s at all times. ID’s are required to access many school
services. Students who violate this expectation may be subject to disciplinary action.

ACADEMIC AND ATTENDANCE INTERVENTIONS

“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 may fail the class for the semester in any course, when reaching a total of
12 excused/unexcused absences and after school-documented interventions have
been exhausted. (Student Procedures Handbook page 26)
ATTENDANCE
Ceramics 3 and 4 are studio classes with a majority of the course work done in the
classroom. Attendance is vital to the success of each student. Clay dries out when
left unattended for even a short time and projects cannot be taken home to
work on; therefore, be sure your student is in class every day possible.
Daily participation in classroom instruction activities is essential to earning credit in
every course.
