Attendance Policies

Attendance Policies: ALL DAY ABSENCES Should be called in on the morning of the first day of the absence. A parent must call the All Day Absence line at (760) 787-4017 for English or 760-787-4019 for Spanish and leave a message with the following info: • name of the student • date of the absence • reason for absence * If you are calling your student in sick, please state the specific symptoms and the date they started. An Attendance or Health Tech will be calling to follow up with you. • name of the person calling • telephone number in the event there are questions.

Arriving Late: All students who arrive late to school (over 30 min.) must check in at Attendance window for a tardy pass to class.

**Partial Day Absences / Off Campus Passes ** If you need a pass off campus for a partial day absence, the preferred method is to send a parent signed note. Please include the date, student’s name, the time they need to leave campus, the reason they are leaving and parent/guardian signature. (No Off Campus Passes will be issued in the last 30 min. of the school day.) Cut Off Time is 2:50 p.m. If you forget to send a note you can call (760) 787-4016 to request a pass. Please allow ample time to pull your student from class. Students who leave campus without a pass will be marked truant.

Excusing a Tardy: Parents can excuse a morning tardy by sending in a signed note or calling (760) 787-4016. Students who have a parent signed note or a parent has called to excuse tardy will stop at the Attendance window for the excused tardy pass to class. We will also excuse a tardy with a Doctor’s note.

Lunchtime Policy: The policy at Ramona High School is that only Seniors have off campus privileges during lunch time. All other students will need a parent/guardian to sign the student out at the attendance desk in the office if they are leaving during Lunch.

Marked Absent in Error: This can be corrected by coming to Attendance and getting a pink Teacher Correction form - this will have the info on the date of absence and the period. Take this to the teacher that marked you absent and have them sign off that it was an error. Return the form to Attendance with teacher's signature and we will correct it. You can also email your teacher or talk to them and they may email us with the correction.
