Stagg High School

• Students have five (5) school days to clear an absence through the Attendance Office. 

If your student is absent from school for any reason, you can report the absence in one of the following ways:

• By Phone, (209) 933-7445, press 1
• Written Note – MUST include:

• Student’s full legal name

• Date of absence (must be inside body of message)

• Reason for absence

• Guardian’s printed name and signature

• Parent contact number

• In Person - at the Attendance Office in the Main Office at Stagg High School

***If your student needs to leave school early for any reason, parents, guardians, or a parent representative (who must be listed on the emergency card or listed in Synergy) will be required to show a valid ID before taking a student off campus.

• It can take up to 3-5 school days in peak times. We apologize for the delay. If after 5 school days, you still do not see the absence cleared, please contact us.

• If you have been marked absent due to a sport, extracurricular or other school-sponsored activity, please see the procedure below:
• Please allow 3-5 school days for processing before contacting the school. If after 3-5 days the absence is not cleared, you first need to contact your coach, sponsoring staff member or club advisor. The coach, sponsoring staff member or club advisor will need to contact the Attendance Office on your behalf. 
• If you do not get a response from your coach, sponsoring staff member or club advisor – contact an administrator for your assistance. The administrator will contact the coach, sponsoring staff member or club advisor and inform them to contact the Attendance Office.
• It is school policy that the absence must be cleared by the coach, sponsoring staff member, or club advisor. We cannot accept parent/student requests for correction of this absence type. Any attendance correction form received related to an absence of this type will be automatically denied.

• Please inform your student to obtain an Attendance Correction Form located at the Attendance Office window to request changes to absences marked in error. Tardies are not able to be amended unless they are incorrect.
