JNLA and NCPA ATTENDANCE and TARDY POLICY 2014-2015
Attendance Policy
Excellent school attendance paves the way for academic achievement. The LAUSD goal is for all students to attend school 96% of the time or better, having no more than 7 absences per school year. It is important that you attend every day, arrive on time and stay for the full length of the school day.
Unverified absences may result in you being classified as truant. A truancy is defined by the State of California as any student with 3 unexcused absences or tardies in excess of 30 minutes or combination thereof in one school year. California Education Code section (E.C.) 48260 requires school districts to notify parents when their child is classified as truant. LAUSD has automated Initial Truancy Letter to notify parents/guardians in a timely manner. To avoid being classified as a truant, you must submit a note or documentation for all absences, tardies and leaving early to the Welcome Center. Please make sure you put your complete name and the SLC (School of Arts and Culture or Business and Technology School) on the note. If a note is not received with 10 days following the absence, the absence will be marked as unexcused. According to the district policy three days tardy equals one unexcused absence, thus affecting a student’s chance for good attendance recognition.
Tardy Sweeps
1. After the tardy bell rings, teachers will not allow late students into class.
2. Tardy students will be directed to the plaza area where they will report their tardy at a service station. Tardies will be documented in a log for monitoring purposes and kept in school files. After the third reported tardy, students will begin to receive school beautification or detention every time they are late.
3. Students will then receive a tardy slip and will be directed to immediately report to class. Teachers will not readmit students to class without tardy slip.
4. The school will strictly monitor students who are frequently late and an administrator will conduct a conference with parents to address and resolve the problem.
Tardy Consequences 1st tardy and 2nd tardy- Warning 3rd tardy- Final Warning 4th-6th tardy- Phone call, parent notification, and/or home visit 7 or more Cumulative Tardies - Student is placed on Loss of Privileges
List and referred to PSA Counselor for further intervention
*Student tardy counts and consequences are reset at the beginning of each quarter. However, an administrative conference will be scheduled with parents and child who has been habitually late.
Loss of Privileges List Students placed on this list will be restricted from participating in specified extra-curricular activities until they meet with an administrator, PSA Counselor, or Academic Counselor. Loss of Privileges list includes, but is not limited to: dances, field trips, special activities (e.g. assemblies, pep rallies, sporting events).

Revised August 1, 2014
College & Career Readiness Through A-G• The mission of LAUSD is to graduate students who are college-prepared and career-ready.
In the 21st century workplace, finding and keeping a job that pays well requires higher-order thinking skills—those that we want every LAUSD student to learn.
• In order to accomplish this, students must take a rigorous high school program that teaches a foundation of skills that will help them to apply, analyze and synthesize complex information.
• LAUSD has incorporated A-G courses into its graduation requirements prioritizing the courses students need to ensure that they are college-prepared and career-ready by graduation day for the Class of 2017 and beyond.
• By adopting A-G as the standard and requiring students pass with a ‘C,’ LAUSD is raising the bar for all students to be competitive in today’s workforce, whether they go straight into a career or go on to a 4-year college.
All Youth Achieving
About the A-G Requirements
The A-G requirements are a sequence of 15 courses that are required for admission to the California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems.
• Beginning with the Class of 2016, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) will incorporate the A-G requirements into its graduation requirements to ensure that all graduates are prepared for college.
• By the Class of 2017, all students will have to complete the minimum course requirements for CSU or UC, which includes passing their A-G classes with a ‘C’ or better, in order to graduate.

Passing GradesFor a course to be counted towards the A-G requirements, UC and CSU require that students earn a grade of C or higher. To help students become eligible for UC and CSU, LAUSD has made this part of its graduation requirements. Beginning with the class of 2017, students must pass the minimum A-G 15-course sequence with a C or higher. If a student earns lower than a C in any of these courses, the student must either repeat the course and earn a grade of C or better, or in approved cases, validate the course by earning a C or better on a more advanced course.
Eligibility for CollegeParents and students should be aware that completion of the A-G requirements does not guarantee admission to a university. A student’s grade point average and test scores will also factor into admissions decisions. In order to be competitive, students should plan to take higher levels of courses that exceed the A-G requirements. Students should consult their counselor for guidance in this area. Parents and students can log onto https://doorways.ucop.edu/list/ to see a list of A-G courses offered at each high school.
