Dean's Office

Reporting Attendance

1. Planned Absence: If you know in advance that your son will miss one or more days of class, please call the Attendance Office in advance with details of the absence. The student will receive a planned absence form from the Dean, which he will get signed by his teachers and submit at least one day before the absence. Digital Planned Absence Form: Students must make a COPY of this form into their own Google Drive and share the copy with their teachers (must give edit permission).

2. Unplanned Absence: There are two ways to report a student’s absence from school: (1) a parent must call the attendance office (Ext. 1212) before 8:30 a.m. that day to report the reason for your son’s absence, or (2) a parent may submit a notification online via the SchoolMessenger feature in Powerschool. Once the Dean’s Office has received the attendance reports for the day, parents will receive a notification by way of email and/or text message to confirm receipt of the absence report. Parents who do not report their son’s absence will receive a phone call from the school that day.

3. Planned Late Arrival or Early Departure: If your son must be excused from class for part of the school day, call the automated attendance line (Ext. 1212), before school begins on the day of the appointment, or a parent may submit a notification online via the SchoolMessenger feature in Powerschool. Your son may also present a written note to the Dean’s Office at least 15 minutes before the start of the school day. Any communication must state the reason for and the time of the departure and whether he will return that same day. Students who must leave the school grounds for any reason during the school day must check out with the Dean’s Office before leaving campus.

Discipline

Loyola High School strives to maintain an environment where students may develop their minds, bodies, and souls to meet the goals of the Graduate-at-Graduation. As members of the Loyola community, students should demonstrate respect and concern for themselves and others. Loyola’s Norms of Student Conduct establish both general and specific guidelines for the expectations of student behavior. The intent of enforcing these directives is to provide fair and consistent consequences that will facilitate personal growth and responsibility as Loyola students become Men for and with Others.

Parking

Secured parking at Loyola High School is provided at no cost to students. All drivers must register their vehicles with the Dean’s Office by filling out the Driving/Parking Contract. Please register all vehicles that the student may drive so that he is prepared in the event of a car problem. The vehicle sticker for each car is provided by the Dean’s Office and must be affixed on the inside, lower-left corner of the windshield.

Parents/Students’ Handbook

All Loyola parents and students are required to read the Parents’/Students’ Handbook. Once they have read the handbook, both the parent(s) and student should acknowledge their acceptance of the guidelines by completing the Parent/Student Handbook Agreement via PowerSchool.

Media Release Form

Loyola High School is very proud of the positive activities, honors and achievements of our students. As a result, we are making every effort to promote these accomplishments through such vehicles as our local newspapers, radio and televisions stations, and through school publications as well as our website.
