the following guidelines:
1.
Schedule change requests may be made during the first two weeks of a new semester.
2.
Umatilla reserves the right to change individual student schedules to comply with Lake County School Board and Department of Education policies. These administrative changes may occur due to fluctuations in the student population and/or

Students should make an appointment with their guidance counselor to explore options for taking additional courses or making up course in which they made less than a passing grade.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is extremely important to student success at Umatilla High School. Please take time to review this attendance policy with students. After each absence or tardy, the automated calling system will send a notification to the primary phone
number on file for that student. Missing more than fifteen minutes in any class period is considered an absence. Teachers may
choose to offer incentives for good attendance including extra points on exams or final averages as stated in their beginning
of course syllabus.
1.
Excused Absences: A student shall be allowed three (3) excused absences per course per grading period. Parent notes
and/ or appropriate documentation with regards to these absences are required to be turned in within 48 hours of student’s return to school. In addition, the following reasons will be excused with proper documentation.
a. Medical absences accompanied by a doctor’s note
b. Court Appearance accompanied by a court notice
c. Death in the family accompanied by a parent note
d. Exceptional Circumstances as approved by the principal
e. Approved pre-arranged absences for family trips or college visits upon the following the proper procedures listed
below (no more than 5 per year)
Page 4
2.
Unexcused Absences: Unexcused absences are any absences not excused as outlined in item 1. After the 3 rd parent
note, only notes listed in item 1 will be accepted. The following policy shall apply to all unexcused absences:
a. Four (4) or more unexcused absences in any course in one grading period will result in a student earning a failing
grade with a maximum grade of 59 for that course.
b. A student will not necessarily fail the course as this will be dependent upon the grades earned in the remaining
grading periods and the exam grades.
c. Every third tardy in any given course within one grading period will count as an unexcused absence. A tardy is
defined as arriving to class after the tardy bell but before fifteen minutes of class time has elapsed.
3.
Prearranged Absences: The student must obtain a prearranged absence form from the attendance office well in advance of the absence. The parent/guardian must sign the form, and then the student must secure the signature of every
teacher for every class in which he/she is currently enrolled. The form must then be returned to attendance clerk who
will submit it to the principal for approval. The student will be notified if the form is disapproved. The prearranged absence form must be returned to attendance clerk at least two (2) days before the first day of the absence.
4.
Academic field Trips (AFT): An AFT is a school sponsored event occurring during school day under the supervision of
a teacher at an off campus location. An AFT does not count as absence from school. The sponsoring teacher will assure
that all students allowed participate have an AFT form submitted to attendance at least two (2) days prior to the trip. Four
(4) AFT”s per one credit course are permitted.
5.
Make-up Work: Students are permitted to complete work missed during any excused absence or AFT as defined above
within five (5) school days of returning to school. Teachers will provide the work upon student request, and time may be
extended upon the teacher’s discretion. Long term assignment due dates and late penalties will be in accordance with the
Lake County School board policy.
6.
Suspension: The first suspension in any school year does not apply toward the four (4) unexcused absences that would
affect a student’s grade, and a student will be permitted to complete make-up work. Making up work for any subsequent
suspensions will be at the teachers’ discretion. Completing missed assignments is crucial for leaning the material and is
strongly encouraged.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement (AP) is a nationally standardized program of college-level courses and exams for secondary school students.

Advanced Placement courses are challenging and thought-provoking. The students receive a real world experience of college
expectations.

college credit, increasing the likelihood of postsecondary success and reducing the time to degree. This successful program
has allowed thousands of students to simultaneously earn credit toward certificate or degree from an eligible postsecondary
