Regular school attendance is imperative for success in school. If your child is absent from school, please email the reason for the excuse that includes the date and purpose of the absence. You can email these to our attendance office at CAIHSAttendance Students can also bring notes down to the attendance window located in the main office. Please see the attendance requirements for all students below.

• If a student misses 18 days of school and/or 9 days in a semester, and/or misses the same class 18 times, and/or is habitually late to school, he/she will be required to have a School Attendance Improvement Plan (SAIP) meeting. From the meeting, the team will discuss the student’s attendance and make a potential recommendation for retention or being held back.

• In order to receive credit, a student must attend 90% of his/her class days.

• If a student misses more than 10 lawful or unlawful absences, requires an excuse from a licensed practitioner of the healing arts or medical doctor.

• A student can be retained for failing to show academic achievement for promotion.

• Retention or being held back shall only be considered for the worst-case scenarios and parents/guardians will be notified and a part of the process.
