❖ Good attendance (Online and in person)is one of the keys to academic success.

❖ La buena asistencia es clave para el éxito académico. How is High School Attendance Different?

•In High School ATTENDANCE IS BY PERIOD

•Parents may excuse an illness 14 times

•However… 3 consecutive days must be verified with a doctor’s note

•Tardies are not excused, unless verified by a doctor’s note

•3 unexcused period absences = Saturday School

•12 unexcused period tardies = Saturday School Discipline

Assistant Principal/Subdirector, Derek Kendall - 9th and 11th grades Assistant Principal/Subdirector Jose Quevedo - 10th and 12th grades

Soquel High School practices positive discipline - we recognize that students may make bad choices, but they are not bad people. For minor discipline issues we follow a district-wide behavior/consequence matrix that reflects a progression in consequences. Administrative action may include: ● letter of apology ● educational assignments ● community service ● conflict resolution ● loss of privileges (participation in extracurricular activities, attendance at school events)

In order for ALL students to feel welcome, supported, and safe, some behaviors will not be tolerated. Suspensions and expulsions are reserved for the following offenses. ● Hate, harassment, and bullying ● Violence and threats of violence to students and/or school personnel ● Possession/use of weapons ● Possession/use of drugs and alcohol Counseling Consejeria
