Per FERPA, The GMCHS office does not communicate with college instructors on behalf of students. College instructors expect students to attend class. Students may be dropped from a class without warning if as many sessions as are offered in a week are missed. Students should consult their college class syllabi for individual course attendance expectations.

Tardies: Students are expected to be in class on time. Punctuality is an important life skill. Tardiness is disruptive to class and is inconsiderate of teachers and fellow students.

Truancies: Truancy is defined by California Education Code 48260 as a student who is absent from school without a valid excuse three full days in one school year or tardy or absent for more than a 30-minute period during the school day without a valid excuse on three occasions in one school year, or any combination thereof, shall be classified as a truant.
