ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES Casa Roble High School 2021- 2022

Absences: Absences must be cleared within 5 days. When a student is absent, a parent or legal guardian must excuse his/her absence with a note, email casarobleabsence@sanjuan.edu or phone call to the Attendance Office at (916)971-5484. The note must include the following information:

Student’s first and last name reason for absence exact date(s) time of absence signature and relationship of the parent/guardian a phone number where the person signing the note can be reached.

Health related Absences in excess of 10 days requires a doctor’s note.

The Attendance Office opens at 7:00 a.m. giving students ample time to bring their notes to clear absences or obtain their Early Dismissal slips. Early Dismissals: Once a student arrives on campus, he/she must get an early dismissal slip to leave campus for any reason. Students should bring a note, signed by their parent/guardian to the Attendance Office stating the time and reason for the dismissal. The appropriate time to obtain an early dismissal slip is before school, during lunch or passing period. Please do not call during the day if possible for Early Dismissals. Early dismissals are typically for medical appointments, illness, or family emergencies only. A Parent cannot clear an early dismissal after the absence has occurred; this missed class(es) will be marked as a truancy. If a student becomes ill while at school, he/she should come to the Attendance Office to call a parent or guardian so that we may issue an early dismissal.

Attendance Codes Attendance Codes Code A an unverified absence Code B is 30+ minutes late and counts toward truancy. Code B tardy will result in TRUANCY Letter Code C is a Cut/Truant, unexcused absence verified by either staff or parent/guardian. Code D onsite suspension Code F Funeral Immediate Family Code G administrative appointment/conference, court appointment Code K Field trip Code R Religious Code S Suspension Code X are absences with parent permission but the reason does not meet the state criteria as an excused absence. Code Y counts towards truancy and is coded after 5 school days have passed and the student has not produced a medical note excusing and absence (Code A becomes Y after 5 school days).

SENIOR PROJECT – 2022 ONLY

Class of 2022 (Modified) Senior Project Casa Roble High School

Due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, the class of 2022 will complete a modified senior project. The following items must be submitted to your ELA 4 or AP Lit teacher by the end of the course or by the teacher’s posted due date. Expect to spend at least 15-20 hours on this project. If you have questions, you may direct them to Mrs. Cameron, our senior project coordinator, at mcameron@sanjuan.edu or you may contact your counselor or administrator.

Letter of Intent Business Letter

The first step of your senior project is to introduce your idea to your English teacher. This must be done in a business letter format and it must be approved before you begin your research. Your project should fit into one of the following categories:

• You may research a current problem/issue and report on possible solutions • You may learn a new skill • You may research a career opportunity

15

Your proposal letter must contain at least the following items:

• Your interest in the skill/issue/career • What you intend to research • What you intend to present for your product

You will present this letter at a mock job interview.

Research Informational Paper

At this step you research an element of your project. This will start with an introduction of what you are learning and culminate in a literature review. Your literature review will be an informational paper examining the expert’s view of a problem you are researching or an essential element of your new learning. Please be sure to include at least 4 sources, be careful not to plagiarize and use Standard English grammar.

You must consult 4-6 sources.

The suggested format for a literature review:

Paragraph 1: Introduce your problem or research in detail. Paragraph 2: Introduce the experts you have researched. What makes these sources credible and why are the authors of these sources considered experts?

Paragraphs 3-9: (the number of paragraphs will depend on the number of sources you utilize or the number of subtopics you choose). You can handle this section in one of two ways. You can dedicate a paragraph to each of the sources/experts that you consulted or you can break your problem/research into subtopics and address how multiple experts approached each subtopic.

Concluding Paragraph: What conclusions can you come to after fully researching this problem/new learning?

Ideas:

• An informational paper on the possible solutions to the problem/issue you are researching.

• An informational paper on the advantages/disadvantages of the skill that you are learning.

• An informational paper outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the career you are researching. It might also contain the training necessary to begin working in the field. You could also try and virtually interview someone who works in the field and include information about what a typical day in this industry might look like.

Reflective Log

For this element of your project, you must create a reflective log with three (3) entries. One entry must reflect upon your learning at the beginning stages; one entry must reflect upon your learning from the middle stages; and one entry must reflect upon the end of your progress. Each entry should have at least one photo to visually document your process.

16

Product

You and your teacher must choose a product that is appropriate to the knowledge you gained in your research. It can take the form of a product, a power-point presentation, a video presentation, or a plan for reform.

Ideas:

• A speech outlining the issue you researched and presenting possible solutions. • A power point presentation where you present your issue/problem and possible

solutions

• A product/plan that addresses the issue you researched • A speech where you outline the career you researched • A product/plan to address an issue that is present in the career you researched • A sample of the skill you learned.

Senior Project Samples

Problem: Tracy wanted to know more about the importance of the bee population and its current decline. Her literature review consisted of a summary of the experts’ view of bee population decline. Her product was a virtual speech on the issue and some of the possible solutions.

Skill: Lilly wanted to learn to write for the local newspaper. She virtually interned at the paper. Her literature review included research into the possibility that print media might be a dying art. She included the experts’ opinions on the status of print media. Her product was her published piece in the paper.

Career: Joe wanted to learn about dentistry. His literature review consisted of the training necessary for the career, the financial benefits of the career, and some of the current issues facing the dental industry. While researching, he discovered that many children cannot be seen at the dentist because they are simply too afraid and uncooperative. For his product he designed a children’s coloring book that helped kids understand the dentist.

as prescribed by the governing board. • Earning at least a 'C' average for the previous grading period in scholarship and 'C'

average in citizenship. A STUDENT WHO DOES NOT MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA: • Is declared ineligible and suspended until they meet the requirements at the end of a grading

period (they may practice but can't play in games). • The first time each school year that an athlete becomes ineligible, they may be placed on

probation (they continue playing), rather than suspension, provided they attend 3 study periods each week beginning the week after grades are posted. After 3 weeks a grade check is done and if the athlete is eligible, they may continue competing, if not, they are ruled ineligible until the next grades are published.

• The second time each school year that an athlete becomes ineligible, they are placed on suspension for at least 3 weeks and must attend study hall beginning the week after grades are posted until the next grading period. After 3 weeks of study hall there will be a grade check and if the athlete is eligible, they may begin competing as long as they continue to attend study hall until the next grades are published.
