Why Attending School Matters
When it comes to learning, every single school day counts. Research shows that attendance plays a vital role in academic success. Simply put, students must attend school to benefit from it.
Just two missed days of school every month, for any reason, can cause a child to suffer academically and decrease the chances that he or she will graduate. Absences add up—and subtract from learning.
Arroyo High School believes that regular attendance plays a key role in student achievement and recognizes its responsibility under the law to ensure that students attend school regularly. Arroyo High School will abide by all state attendance laws and may use appropriate legal means to correct the problems of excessive absences or truancies.
All absences from class must be cleared through the Attendance Office. To clear an absence, the student must submit a note within three (3) school days of returning to school by the parent/guardian or doctor’s office. Parent notes must be signed by the parent/guardian and include the student’s name, date of absence, and reason for the absence. The parent may also call or Email the attendance clerks. An excessive number of absences need to be verified by a doctor.
Every student must check out with the Attendance Office before leaving school for any reason. Failing to check out properly will result in a truancy.
Contact Information:
Please contact the attendance clerk whose alphabet coincides with the first letter of your child’s last name.

Saturday Academy is in the Cafeteria every Saturday from 8 am to 12 noon. The only time there will not be Saturday Academy is if there is no school on the Friday before. Saturday Academy is assigned due to having all-day Unexcused and all-day Truancies (both considered Unexcused absences) and is mandatory to attend. So, if you have any Unexcused absences to clear you will need to attend Saturday Academy this Saturday in the Cafeteria from 8 am to 12 noon. Make sure to be on time and arrive a little before 8 am. Make sure to bring your student ID and school work to work on.
You can check on your own if you need to attend Saturday Academy by counting how many Unexcused all-day absences you have. You can see this by going into StudentVue and clicking on “Attendance”. Scroll to the bottom of the Attendance screen and in the bottom right corner click on “Detail”. Scroll further down and count the Red Xs in the “All Day” column. That is how many Saturdays you need to attend.
