FOGGY DAY SCHEDULE
.
Sanger Unified School District will notify radio stations and TV channel 18 by
6:00 a.m. when a foggy day schedule is called for bus riders. As a rule, the
District will announce Plan A which means school buses will be two
hours late, however parents should check to see if the delay has been extended
before sending their children to the bus stop. If you have questions, call the
Transportation Department at 237-3171(ext. 206) or 875-7170. Even though
buses are delayed, classes will start at the usual time.

LEAVING CAMPUS DURING SCHOOL HOURS
.
Please be advised that students are not allowed to leave campus during the
school day without written permission from the parent or legal guardian.
They may go home for lunch on a daily basis if it is so designated on the
lunch procedure card or occasionally with a written request from the parent.
It is mandatory that students sign out in the office when they leave the
school grounds for any reason during school hours. Please Remember That
Parents Need To Sign Their Children Out When Picking Them Up From School.
.
ABSENCES
.
It is very important to your child’s education that he/she attend school on a
regular basis. Missed days of school can leave gaps in the educational
process that may be very difficult to make up. Please make every effort to
get your child to school every day. California law requires school attendance
of every person under eighteen (18) years of age. The law states that an
absence may be excused if the absence is due to:
.
• Illness of student
• Medical appointments
• Funeral for members of the immediate family
When your child is absent from school, please phone the school office right
away. We are required to write down a specific reason for any absence. If
the parent has not called the school to verify an absence the student must
bring a written note upon returning to school which includes the student’s
name, the date, the reason and dates of absence and the parent’s signature.
(Parents should be aware that the school loses funds for unexcused absences.)

TARDIES
.
Like absences, coming to school late can also be disruptive to your child’s
education. It is difficult for a child to get adequate introduction to the
day’s work unless he/she reports to the class promptly. Additionally, other
children in the classroom lose precious time when a student comes in late as
the lesson in progress is usually halted while the late student settles in and
gets caught up. Please make every effort to be sure your child arrives on
time.
.
When the 7:55 A.M. bell rings students line up in front of their classroom.
When late, a student must report to the office immediately for an admittance
slip to present to the classroom teacher.
.
ATTENDANCE REPORTING
.
All Sanger Unified schools participate in computerized attendance accounting.
Both absences and tardies are entered on the computer and reported to the
District office each month. If a student is absent and or tardy
(excused or unexcused) on more than 15% of the days school is in session, the
school is required to send a warning letter or PRE-SARB(School Attendance
Review Board) letter to the parents suggesting a need for improvement.
If the student continues to show absences and or tardies exceeding 15% during
any subsequent reporting periods, the District office requires that the
parents be sent additional SARB letters which may mandate a conference
with the principal. If attendance or tardies continue after the conference,
the parents will be required to meet with the District SARB.
