Attendance Hotline & Policies

All ABSENCES MUST BE CLEARED WITHIN 3 DAYS of the student’s return to school. When possible, please inform the school of the absence before it occurs.

Absences can only be cleared by a parent/guardian. 

You may report an absence in one of two ways (email preferred):

  • Email the attendance office at LHSattendance@LVJUSD.org
  • Call the 24-Hour Attendance Recorder at (925) 606-4812 ext2333



 

REPORT THE FOLLOWING:

  1. Student’s first name and ID number
  2. Date and duration of the absence
  3. Reason for absence
  4. Identify yourself (i.e. relationship to student)

 

REPORT TO THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE:

  1. TO SIGN OUT BEFORE you leave for an appointment (doctor/dentist, illness, or for personal reasons)
  2. TO SIGN IN when checking back into school
  3. When you do not feel well
  4. If campus entrance gates and doors are locked when you come late to school

 

Students needing to leave campus during the school day must sign out through the Attendance Office with a parent note or phone call in order for the absence to be excused. Failure to sign out makes an absence unexcused!

Unexcused Absence Policy

School District policy permits teachers to lower a grade by 1/3 for each unexcused absence. This means that three unexcused absences can result in a student's grade dropping one full grade. Attendance and success in school go hand in hand. Parents are asked to work closely with their students to ensure success in school.

Leaving Campus

Livermore High School is a closed campus. This means that students may not leave campus during the school day unless:

1) They have been signed out at the Attendance Office

2) They are a senior with privileges to leave campus during lunchtime

Seniors will have this privilege depending on their prior reporting period grades, and it may be revoked due to disciplinary, grades, attendance issues, and/or moving violations received while off campus during lunchtime. Students who leave without signing out and miss classes will be marked cut--even if they leave for legitimate reasons (e.g., a doctor's appointment).

Tardies

Students are required to be in class when the bell rings.  If the student is not, then a tardy is recorded in the attendance system.  If you are more than 30 minutes late to a class, you will be given an unexcused absence.  Teachers may establish their own attendance policies, and have the right to lower the student's grade for each tardy.
