BVMS recognizes that daily attendance is a predictor of student academic success. Further, school attendance is compulsory per Education Code (48200).
Parents are responsible for assisting their students in maintaining the following attendance expectations:
- Attend school daily and on time.
- Remain after school up to 30 minutes when directed by a school official to complete disciplinary or other requirements (parent will be notified).
- Be accounted for at all times during the school day, for safety reasons.
- Abide by district policies related to school attendance.
Tardies
For a student to be considered on time to class, students must be in the classroom when the bell rings. The tardy policy applies to every period.
Tardy sweeps will occur randomly. Students caught in a tardy sweep will receive immediate after-school detention and their parents/guardians will be contacted by a site administrator or designee.
