IMPORTANT REMINDERS

As we move into the new school year, please review these important guidelines. For a full description, see the 2021-2022 Parent-Student Handbook.

Attendance

In the event of an absence, please notify the Attendance O ce at (626) 940-2002 or attendance@boscotech.edu and leave a message on the answering service by 9 a.m. The parent/ guardian calling must state the following: a) student’s name, year, and ID # b) reason for the student’s absence c) phone number where the parent/guardian may be reached during the day.

Upon returning to campus, the student must present a signed note to the attendance o ce stating the dates and reason for the absence. If the student was treated by a physician, he must bring a note from the doctor. The note must state: a) the date the student is permitted to return to school and b) any restrictions regarding participation in school activities such as PE, sports or technology.

Tardies

A student is tardy to school if he is not in his assigned place when the rst period bell rings. If tardy, he must obtain a late slip from the Attendance O ce. A note from a parent/guardian should always be presented explaining the reason for tardiness, although this does not assure the student an excused tardy. Disciplinary action will be taken if the reason for the tardy is not recognized as valid.

Students are given four verbal warnings before detentions are issued. They will begin to serve afterschool detention once they have accumulated their fth tardy and serve Saturday detentions after their eighth tardy. After the eighth tardy, parents will be contacted and a parent conference will be required to develop a plan that will assist the student in being punctual to class. Fifteen tardies per semester are the maximum allowed before credit for the course becomes null.

Student drop o s

Parents are asked not to drop o or pick up students in the front administration parking lot because of the inherent danger this causes students on foot; instead, parents are asked to use the south parking lot to drop o /pick up students before/after school. Please observe the ‘no parking’ areas in front of the school, including the bus stop and designated emergency vehicle zones. Parents’ vehicles are never allowed on campus unless by speci c permission.
