Attendance
Students should be in school daily, on time, with all necessary materials. Being on time and prepared each day will help maximize the potential for learning, and students will develop good work habits for the future.

Such devices may not be activated or used during instructional time or at any time when school personnel specifically direct it while performing their duties. Students will be subject to discipline for failure to comply with this policy, including the confiscation of the device requiring a parent to retrieve the device.

Grading Policy
Each student will earn a grade point average based on his or her progress reports at the end of each triad and on their report cards at the end of each semester. The following 4-point scale is used:
A=4 points
B=3 points
C=3 points
D=1 point
A grade point average of 2.0, as well as passing five classes, is required for participation in extra-curricular activities. For students who do not meet these standards, probation is an option available in order to participate. Students whose GPA is below a 2.0, but at least a 1.5, will be considered eligible for probation. This type of probation may be used only once in any academic year. A special note to eighth graders: This eligibility standard also applies to Azusa High School. Grades earned at the end of the spring semester will be used to determine fall eligibility in high school.
