Attendance
Attendance and lunch count are recorded online each morning by 8:15 a.m. in PowerSchool. Attendance and lunch counts must be done by this time so that we can get accurate figures to the district and cafeteria. Any questions need to be addressed to Yolanda Maldonado or Nancy Reyes in the Arts Magnet Office.
Any student who arrives after 8:05 is considered tardy and should be marked as such on PowerSchool. If student arrives tardy after you have already submitted attendance on PowerSchool, please send the student to the office.
Attendance is extremely important. A child cannot learn from the educational system if they are not present. A child who is truant may be in an unsafe environment. Talk to your students about how important it is that they come to school everyday, well-rested, a healthy breakfast eaten, and ready to learn.
Remind students to bring a written note or to have parents call the office to verify the absence.
Do not allow any student in your class, who is not on your roster, without paperwork from the office proving their placement in your class. Send students without placement papers back to the office.
Important Note
Every week you will be given the previous weeks' attendance to review and sign. Please make sure that you correct all errors before signing and returning the paper to the Attendance Clerk, Yolanda Maldonado, to ensure that correct attendance is reported and recorded.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE 2019-2020
FOR THE CLASSROOMS: Each classroom will receive a poster that says: Perfect Attendance Champs!. Each Teacher will fill in their name and room number at the bottom of the poster and hang it on their wall. For every day that all of the students are in class, and NOT TARDY, the class gets to color in one letter of the words: Perfect Attendance Champs!. When the classroom has colored in all of the letters (24 days) they win an ice cream party for their classroom. They will also take a picture with Mr. Smith, Ms. Villanueva, their perfect attendance poster, and trophy (the picture will be displayed in KCAM’s bulletin board area outside of the library). On top of winning the ice cream party, each grade level will have a trophy to pass around amongst themselves when a classroom holds the current title for perfect attendance. They will keep it in their classroom until the next classroom in that grade level completes the Perfect Attendance poster. Having the visual reminder every day on top of the reward of the ice cream party might be the boost they need to show up to school every day!
FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS: For those students who have perfect attendance (no tardies or absences) for a trimester, they will be invited to a pizza party with Mr. Smith and Ms. Villanueva; the students will also be recognized with a certificate at a Student of the Month Assembly at the end of the trimester, and will be put into a drawing for a big prize at the end of the year.
