Late Arrival to School - Tardies

• Students who arrive late to school should come up the stairs/ramp through the main entrance (between the 2 parking lots) and go to the Counseling Office Room 231 to get a tardy pass. The front door is locked during the school day.
• Excusing Tardies: Students should bring a written note from parent or note from medical provider, especially if parent is not with the student during drop off.

Permit to Leave Early Passes

• Obtaining a permit to leave pass in advance: Please have your child come to the counseling office to pick up a Permit to Leave Pass before school, start of school or after school with a written note or email the attendance office at 404_apgattendance@sfusd.edu.
  • Students without a written note or email from a parent will not be allowed to leave the school campus. Parents will be called to verify.
• Parents on-site pick up: Please sign out your child using the sign-out book. Counselor or secretary will call students out of class. We recommend that parents do not come during school lunch hours as it is hard to find students (see bell schedule).
• It is recommended that medical, dental, or other appointments be scheduled after school, on school holidays, or during vacation periods

  • Notes should include: 
    • Date of Note, Student Name & Grade, Dates of Absence, Reason for Absence, Parent Name & Signature
