Attendance Clerk - (510) 234-4433 ext. 1000

For school records and emergency purposes, please inform the Front Office as soon as possible about changes in address, phone numbers, email addresses, or emergency contacts.

Parent/Guardian Responsibility for Reporting Absences

Parents/Guardians must call or email the attendance office each time the student is absent. Calls should be made between 8:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. When a student returns to school after being absent, they must bring a note that includes their full name, the reason for the absence and the specific dates of absences, and signed by their parent/guardian. A medical form from the student’s doctor attesting to treatment may also suffice when appropriate. Without this note, the student may not be allowed into class or may be required to serve detention until the note is produced. Notes are required for both absences and tardiness but do not necessarily excuse absences or tardiness. The Dean or Principal may ask for further clarification regarding student absenteeism.

Unexcused Absences, such as truancy, will result in an in-school suspension from the Dean of Students or Principal.

Attendance Policy

Daily attendance in each class is required.  Classes missed do not relieve students of the work covered in those classes. Assignments and homework posted on Schoology are expected to be completed on time. Students absent from any and all classes FIFTEEN times during a semester for any reason are ordinarily ineligible for semester credit. Each individual case will be reviewed by the Dean, in consultation with the Principal, who will make the final decision relative to semester credit. Excessive Absence letters will be sent to parents on a regular basis from the Attendance Clerk.

A student participating in any co-curricular event must be in school for one-half of all classes to participate in any co-curricular event that day. Lack of attendance on a Friday means forfeiting participation in weekend co-curricular activities.

Tardy Policy

Students are expected to be in their assigned seats when the bell rings to start the class. Any student who does not meet this expectation is considered tardy. Students tardy to school or any class during the day must obtain an admit slip from the attendance office.

Rationale:

• Tardiness reduces the instructional time of the late student.
• Tardiness interrupts the class the student is entering, resulting in a loss of instructional time for all the students.
• For students to be successful and productive, they should develop habits of punctuality. These habits will contribute to academic success as well as career success.

Corrective Action:

• If a student is tardy to their first block of the day, they will be assigned one mandatory after-school detention, which takes place daily.
• Students are allowed three (3) occasions each quarter where a parent/guardian can call before 10am that same morning and excuse their tardy, relieving them from an after-school detention. The only exception is if the student provides a physical or electronic copy of a medical note with a physician's signature.
• If a student is tardy to school on three (3) or more occasions in any given quarter, they may be assigned to a mandatory, on-campus, two-hour Saturday detention in addition to the daily detentions they’ve already served.
• Failure to attend a mandatory after-school detention will result in the student being assigned one additional after-school detention.
• A parent/guardian conference will be scheduled with the Dean and Principal if the number of tardies becomes excessive or consistent.

School Passes: Medical/Tardy/Early Dismissal

Medical appointments should be made outside school hours. Teachers whose classes will be missed should be notified ahead of time. If students leave early for any reason,  parents/guardians must sign the student out before the student leaves. It is unacceptable to send Uber, Lyft, or another transport service to pick up a student during the school day since a student must be signed out by an adult guardian when they leave campus.

The 2025-2026 Student Family Handbook includes a detailed description of school policies.

2025-2026 Student-Family Handbook

The administration, faculty, and staff of Salesian College Preparatory believe that appropriateness in attire has a positive influence on student work and that it enhances the learning environment for all involved. A dress code also emphasizes to students the societal expectation that personal grooming and appropriate dress reflect a person’s sense of purpose and seriousness toward their work and behavior. Finally, a dress code allows the faculty and staff to identify visitors on our campus quickly. All faculty, staff, and administration members are empowered to enforce all aspects of the Dress Code.

We expect every Salesian student to be in Dress Code while on campus, from arrival to departure. After school, students involved in co-curricular activities, including athletics, may wear team or club-approved spirit-wear if the moderator or coach gives permission.

Here is what we expect Salesian students to wear every day:

1. Approved Salesian collared shirt (polo or button-up) and/or approved Salesian outerwear (sweatshirt, sweater, jacket, etc.), purchased through Lands’ End or the BSN Sideline Store. Students must keep Salesian outerwear on throughout the day. (Salesian polos, jackets, hooded sweatshirts, or crewneck sweatshirts).

2. Non-Salesian outerwear cannot be worn inside or outside, even if a student has a Salesian polo or sweatshirt underneath. The Salesian logo must always be visible.

3. Any solid color pants without rips or fraying (jeans, khakis, etc.), but no sweatpants, joggers, athletic, or track pants. Pants cannot have designs or lettering, tears, multiple colors, or be faded.

4. Bermuda, jean, or cargo style shorts to the knees (any solid color without rips or frayed bottoms)

5. Students can only wear solid color red, black, gray, or white undershirts under their Salesian polos.

6. Girls may wear a black, gray, or khaki uniform skirt, length to knee level or 3-inches below (purchased through Lands’ End only).

7. Shoes need to be appropriate for a school setting and must not compromise safety in an emergency. All shoes should be closed toed and have backs. Flip-flops, CROCS, slides, Yeezy slides, slippers, shoes with more tan a 2-inch heel, or open-toed are not permitted.

2025-2026 Family Service Program (FSP) Registration
*Registration will open in July 2025*

Contact the FSP Coordinator at fsprogram@salesian.com  

Salesian College Preparatory's Family Service Program (FSP) serves as an avenue for families to be involved with school events by volunteering, fundraising, and community building. Family support makes our events possible. Each family is required to offer volunteer service throughout the school year.

FSP Requirements For Each Family (not per student):

1. Volunteer at one large event  (FSP S1) - all day or evening (i.e., Project Santa, Crab Feed, Athletic All-day Events, CYO Track Meets, etc.) 
2. Volunteer at least one other event or activity (FSP S2) - FSP service opportunities include activities such as:
   • Athletic Events: Booster Club – Fall, Winter and Spring sporting events, gate, parking, concession – Snack Shack, set-up, clean-up, etc.
   • School Events: Set-up, clean-up, dances, chaperone, drivers for Service Day, Crab Feed, Welcome Dinners, Alumni events, senior class reception, class retreats, Project Santa, class dinners, etc.
3. Attend one grade-level evening meeting per year:
   • 9th Grade: Class Meeting with School Counselor in October
   • 10th Grade: Class Meeting with School Counselor  in October
   • 11th Grade: Class Meeting with School Counselor in September
   • 12th Grade: Senior Class Parent Meeting regarding graduation activities in February

Parents/Guardians are required to register online for the Family Service Program by September 1st.

• All financial assistance from Salesian (including scholarships) will be put on hold until FSP registration is completed.
• There is an “Opt Out Fee” option for families who decline to participate in FSP and agree to pay $500 instead.

• If a family (parent/guardian) arrives more than 15 minutes after the start of their shift, their shift may be canceled, and they will be subject to a $250 fee.

• If a family (parent/guardian) does not show up for or cancels their volunteer assignment less than 5 days before the event, they will incur a $250 non-participation fee for each assignment that is canceled or unfulfilled.

*There are a few "FSP - Special" opportunities that allow families to complete their FSP requirements for the year: a Crab Feed Committee member, a representative of the Parent Association, a non-paid athletic coach, hosting an international student, Service Day Driver, or being part of the Admissions Liaison Team. Volunteers in these positions "go above and beyond," and we are very grateful for their expertise and help! Inform the FSP Coordinator by the 1st day of school if you qualify for or are interested in any "FSP-Special'' opportunities.
