Attendance

Main Attendance Line: 425.431.7781

 

Students (in cooperation with their parents) have the responsibility for establishing and maintaining prompt and regular attendance as prescribed in the Compulsory Attendance Law of the State of Washington for RCW28A.225.010.

Punctual attendance is the first requirement for success both at MTHS and in the “real” world. A large part of learning takes place during class discussions and participation. Students are expected to be in:

  • Their classroom seat and prepared to begin working when the bell rings.
  • School every day. Student participation is key to many instructional methods—when students are absent they miss out on that learning. 

If a student has excessive absences, a BECCA petition may be filed. 

There are 3 Ways to Excuse an Absence:  (See below for Early Release Requests)

Need an Early Release? Have your student bring a parent/guardian note to the Attendance Office before school starts. If you forget to send a note, call the Main Office at 425-431-7776 to request an Early Release for your student.  Please DO NOT leave voice or email messages requesting an Early Release. Students are required to sign out in the attendance office before leaving campus. Leaving campus without permission and while school is in session is considered an unexcused absence.
