May 18 th Board meeting. We need your input prior to that time. The FINAL date for input is June 8 th ; at the June 15 th Board meeting, we will be acting on the adoption of at least a subset of these policies. At the April 8 th Board meeting, the Board agreed on the need to find an Interim Executive Director. This position will act as a temporary bridge between Amy Held, who is departing June 30 th , and the new management leader. The Board tasked Amy Held, Greg Wood, Marcia Haskin and Jennifer Eustice, to work as a team to find an Interim Executive Director. We will hear their results at the May 18 th Board meeting. The UCLA School Management Program will hold a special meeting with the Board on May 11 th to describe their progress working with Pali stakeholders to define future leadership and organizational structure. Many exciting changes are happening at Pali. Because we are a fiscally independant charter school, all stakeholders are called upon to be part of the changes, rather than being told what to do by a "downtown" higher bureaucracy. I encourage you to get involved. We can't be a charter school without your help. Please come to Board meetings and other Committee meetings to stay informed. Email me with any questions, comments or to provide input into the policies. I appreciate hearing from everyone. Karen Perkins, Ph.D. Board Chair PCHS ATTENDANCE POLICY The Attendance Policy is designed to make students aware of the relationship between achievement and good attendance. This policy recognizes the fact that regular in-class instruction is essential in assuring student achievement. ABSENCE: A student will be considered absent if: He or she is not present for an entire class period or entire school day, or If he or she is thirty (30) or more minutes late for class without a signed school pass; or If he or she has three (3) unexcused tardies, this will be equivalent to one (1) absence. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR STUDENT IS ABSENT Please send a note with the student to the Attendance Office with the following information:
Date of Absence Student's Name, Printed Clearly Date of Birth Student's Grade Level Reason for the Absence Parent Signature Phone Number Where Parent Can Be Reached ABSENCES: If A Student Is Absent 7 Times In One Class, Periods 1-6, The Student May Receive A Final Mark Of Fail (F) In That Class. (See Attendance Policy in your Parent Handbook). TARDIES: 3 Unexcused Tardies In Any One Class = 1 Absence. EARLY CHECK OUTS Does your student have a doctor's appointment? Need to leave school early? If so, your student should bring a note to the Attendance or Magnet Office before school or by Nutrition. The note should include the: Student's Name, Printed Clearly Student's Grade Level Date of Birth Time Student Needs to Leave School Reason for Leaving Parent Signature Phone Number Where a Parent Can Be Reached If a student leaves campus without checking out through the Attendance or Magnet Office, it will be considered a class cut.
