Basic guidelines and timelines for reporting attendance:

• For daily illness, absences or tardies, call or email by 8 a.m.
• If the student is ill for three days or more, a doctor’s note is required to return to school.
• For appointments or early release, report at least 1-2 days prior to the appointment.
• All students who are tardy or leaving school early, must sign in and out at the Main Office.
• For extended length of absences, notify the Dean of Students at least two weeks prior to the absence. The student must fill out the Student Travel Notification.
• Failure for a parent or guardian to report attendance, will result in an unexcused absence and or unexcused tardy.

Further clarifications on attendance policies can be found in the Parent-Student Handbook.

Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up

The designated area for student drop-off and pick-up is limited to the front visitor parking lot. When dropping off or picking up students, drive to the right around the banyan tree. During morning drop-off, there are two lanes to utilize as designated by the cones. Exit the parking lot by continuing around the banyan tree and down the hill. Please exercise caution and courtesy while driving on campus. The speed limit is 5 miles per hour.

If you must park, please use the designated Visitor Parking Stalls on the left side of the parking lot as you drive up. All other parking lots are reserved for faculty and staff members.

Student Parking

There is a limited amount of student parking stalls available in the upper parking lot for a fee and is coordinated with the Campus Use Coordinator. Parking permits are issued in the order received, with priority given to seniors. Complete and submit the Campus Parking Application Form (found in Parent Resources) with all required documents and provide payment to the Main Office.

La Pietra provides a 1:1 technology program using Windows Laptops. Students will receive a laptop for use during the school year to support educational programs. Students must have their laptops fully charged for class each day. The student is responsible for use and care of the laptops. Any cost for repairs, damages and/or replacement will be the responsibility of the parent. 

Before each student may receive a laptop, the parent must read through the laptop agreement. Please note that each student, even siblings, must submit their own laptop agreement. The online laptop agreement will be available via the Magnus Health portal.

Laptop Bag or Sleeve

We highly recommend purchasing a laptop bag or laptop sleeve to protect a 13" laptop. 13" is a snug fit and 14" is a loose fit.
