Report an Absence Online

According to SBBC Policy 5.5: All students under 16 are required to attend school every day of the 180-day school year. Absences are established by tardiness, early sign-outs, or absences for all or part of any day. The maximum number of acceptable absences is 5 days. Additionally, please note that students may not be released after 1:45 p.m.

1. Parents have 2 days (48 hours) in which to report an absence.
2. The Attendance Policy allows eight (8) reasons for absence to be excused.
3. Make up work for credit and grade is allowed for ALL absences. Learn more about Homework/Makeup Work.

Arrival

Students must arrive at school on time every day. The first bell rings at 7:35 AM. Students should be in class by the second bell at 7:40 AM.

Tardy

Tardy (def.): The failure to be in a place of instruction at the assigned time.

Students arriving after 7:40 AM will be considered TARDY. If students arrive after 8:00 AM, the student will need to obtain a pass from the front office to be admitted to class.

• 1st Offense = Warning
• 2nd Offense = Warning and/or Phone call home
• 3rd, 4th & 5th Offense = After School detention
• 6th & 7th Offense OR failure to Serve After School Detentions = Disciplinary Referral-Internal Suspension (Habitual Tardiness)
• 8th Tardy OR Failure to Attend Internal Suspension = Disciplinary Referral – External Suspension (Habitual Defiance)

Administrative Referrals appear on a student's permanent record. 

Tardy detentions are served on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:45 - 3:45 pm in the cafeteria.

Sign-ins and sign-outs are excused and permitted when a parent/guardian accompanies their child to school or an appropriate phone call is made stating the reason for the tardy. Sign-outs will only be excused if a parent comes into the school office or emails over a copy of their driver's license with a written explanation of the reason for the sign-out. A phone call is NOT enough as this is a safety and security issue. Please keep in mind any time missed due to sign-ins or sign-outs will be counted towards the cumulative total of the 30 hours per quarter allowance, per county policy. Once the 30 hours is reached a pattern of non-attendance can be established and further restrictions may take place. Student Services Fax: 754-322-2199.

Dismissal

The dismissal time is 2:40 PM. All students are expected to remain in school for the entire school day. If students are dismissed early, they must be picked up by 2:10 PM. No students will be dismissed 30 minutes prior to the last bell for safety reasons. 

Students - If your parent wants to dismiss you from school using EMAIL or authorize an adult NOT on your emergency list to dismiss you, have them write an email including their phone #, a copy of the parent's driver's license, name of the student, and reason for dismissal to:
EMAIL: sdhsignout@browardschools.com - further verification will be conducted by student services.

Senior Lot Times

The senior lot will be open for permitted students to access and leave the campus only at specific times.

Possession of a wireless communication device that disrupts the educational process is a violation. Cellular phones, camera phones, and pagers are prohibited at all times during class unless specifically instructed to do so as part of the lesson.

Code Red Drills have been mandated for all schools by the State of Florida to ensure the safety of our students and staff. These Code Red Drills will be implemented on a monthly basis, similar to fire drills. The date of the drill will not be pre-announced due to potential security and attendance issues. Instead, our school will send families Parent Link messages via phone call, text message, and/or e-mail approximately 20 minutes prior to the drill to alert everyone that it is only a drill. Please do not contact your child during the Code Red Drills as it is important for all students to learn the safety procedures in case of an emergency. Our school will then send a second message to families notifying you that the drill is completed.

Know the Code…The Dress Code

The dress code rules enforced at our school align directly with the District's Unified School Dress - Policy 5309. Review the District policies outlined on this page for more information.

This is your place of Business - let your wardrobe reflect that.

• No Hats/Bandanas/Hoodies covering your head (Exception: religious head coverings which must be cleared with an administrator).  Anything covering your head is a safety concern in identification.  
• No midriffs. No short shorts.   
• No thin spaghetti straps on shirts.
• No vulgar, obscene, threatening or inappropriate content on clothing items.

If you are sent to the office for a dress code violation, you will be given Alternate Clothes and may spend the day in Internal Suspension if you are a repeat offender (as per the district discipline marix).

IDs must be worn at all times around your neck (not around your backpack).

Students who do not come to school with their ID will be given a temporary ID print out.  Students will receive up to 4 free temporary print outs, on the 5th offense, they will receive a $5 obligation and an additional $1 obligation for each subsequent offense.  Additionally, on the 7th offense, a student will receive a detention to be served after school for 1 hour on either Tuesday or Thursday.  If at any point, a student loses their ID and needs a reprint, they should report to student affairs before school or during lunch and a new ID will be printed.  The charge for a new ID reprint will be $5.  

Security is paramount and students must make it a habit to wear their IDs.

All visitors including parents must check into the attendance office prior to going to any classrooms or any area on campus. An official photo identification (ID) is required. Acceptable forms of ID include the following:

• Driver’s license
• Florida’s official state identification card
