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 Asst Principal of Counseling/Subdirector de Asesoramiento Derek Kendall 429-3909 ext 125 Secretary/Secretaria Valerie Goodwin 429-3909 ext 132 Counselors/Consejeros Sue Faix (A-Cl) 429-3909 ext 133 Ana Martinez (Co-I) 429-3909 ext 144 Bryan Anderson (J-Q) 429-3909 ext 134 Branna Banks (R-Z) 429-3909 ext 135 Registrar/Registradora (enrollments, transcripts, records, etc.) Jennifer Smith 429-3909 ext 136 Your Counselor’s Role Como tu Consejero te Apoyará ❖ Academic/ Academicamente ➢ College requirements and recommendations (A-G)/ Requerimientos universitarios y recomendaciones (A-G) ➢ Four Year Plans (fall semester)/Un plan de cuatro años (en el otoño) ❖ Career/Carrera ➢ Assessments to determine college major and goals/ Asesoramiento para determinar un plan universitario y metas ❖ Personal & Social/ Personal y Social ➢ Support and guidance/ Guia y apoyo High School Graduation Requirements and College A-G Entrance Requirements High School Graduation College Requirements (A-G) Requirements Social Studies 3 years 30 credits A Social Studies 2 years English 4 years 40 credits B English 4 years Math 2 years 20 credits C Math 3 years – Min Math 3 Science 2 years 20 credits D Science 2 years Lab Science World Language N/A E Language 2 years Fine Art 1 year 10 credits F Fine Art 1 year VAPA App. Arts ½ year 5 credits G Electives 1 year College Prep.
