General Attendance Information

A red checkmark with the words 'Be Here!' and the tagline 'On Time, All Day, Every Day. ATTENDANCE COUNTS.'

 

At Ayala High School we are committed to providing our students with a quality education. Each student needs to be in school every day in order to reach their full potential and attain their educational goals. In order to make expectations clear and work more effectively with our students and families, we have provided you with the following information regarding attendance polices:

  • Attendance office hours are 7:30am to 4:30pm daily.
  • You have 5 days to clear an absence through the attendance office. Absences can be cleared using the following methods:
    • Online through Ayala Absence Reporting Form
    • Write a note and send it with your student. Notes should include student’s full name, student ID number, grade level, the date(s) of the absence, reason for absence, and it be signed by a parent.

    • Call the attendance office @ 909-627-3584 and select 1 for attendance or dial extension 2050 or 2051. You can email the attendance office at  

      • Julie_Shipley@chino.k12.ca.us for last names that begin with A-M 

      • Ann-Coletta@chino.k12.ca.us for last names that being with N-Z  

        Please be aware when calling in; you may experience delays when calling right before school or at lunchtime due to a high volume of activity during those times.  

      • Ayala staff are always excited and poised to assist our families with inquiries and services. To better serve our community and ensure that students are ready to safely exit campus at the end of their academic day, we kindly request that parents/guardians not check out their student 30 minutes prior to school dismissal.  Not only do students potentially miss out on important class reminders and announcements when they are checked out early, but it also impedes staff from finalizing the learning opportunities for the day and welcoming families to campus to complete school business. We appreciate your support and value your collaboration!

    • If your student needs to leave campus during the school day, they must be signed out through the attendance office by a person listed on their emergency card PRIOR to leaving campus.
      • Students can only be signed out of school.
      • Anyone who checks a student out of school must show a valid ID.
      • The Online Absence Report or parent notes are not to be used for students leaving early. Students need to be physically checked out for the day.
      • The person listed on the emergency card must come to the attendance office to check student out for the day.

    • Absences not verified within 5 days or absences due to not following proper check-out procedures, regardless of the reason, cannot be cleared.
    • Students with 3 full day unexcused absences, or 3 unexcused single period absences on separate dates are considered truant.
    • You WILL receive truancy calls for your student if 3 or more absences are recorded as unverified/unexcused.
    • Saturday School will be assigned to ALL students with unexcused full day absences. Please see the Saturday School tab for more information.

  • All students must be in the their assigned classroom when the tardy bell rings. Students who come ot class after the tardy bell and are not in possession of a valid tardy excuse issued through the attendance office will be marked tardy. Tardies are counted on a semester basis.

    The consequences for tardies are as follows:

    1. Teacher warning
    2. Teacher warning and parent contact
    3. Teacher warning, parent contact, and administration notification
    4. Referral to the counselor’s office
    5. Referral to the counselor’s office
    6. Intervention

     

    Tardy sweeps may occur at any tie and may result in a warning, detention, or Saturday school.
