WeTip: Confidential Reporting
Students are often afraid to report incidents for a multitude of reasons. WeTip’s Reporting System offers an anonymous way for students and their families to report various happenings like wellness concerns, vandalism, bullying and discrimination without fear.

Student Attendance Expectations
Class attendance is considered to be an integral part of the learning experience at Warren High School. As such, students must actively participate in instructional activities designed by the teacher and missing these learning experiences may affect students’ academic success.
Students must abide by the following attendance expectations:
- Attendance will be taken daily in each block/period and students will communicate daily with assigned teachers in order to be marked “Present”.
- Students will inform teachers if they are unable to attend class if there are extenuating circumstances that prevent them from attending class.
Reporting/Clearing Absences
Please report any absence of your student through Q Parent Connect. https://parentconnection.dusd.net All absences must be reported by a parent or guardian through this website within 10 days of the initial absence. Please note that this will be the only way to clear student absences and voicemails will not suffice. A guide for reporting absences with screenshots can be accessed here.
We encourage you to regularly review your student’s daily attendance and tardy record. Failure to clear absences within the time frame may impact student eligibility to participate in sports and extracurriculars.
If you have any questions, please leave a voicemail on our Attendance Support Hotline at (562) 469-7379 and one of our Attendance staff members will return your call.
ABSENCES MUST BE CLEARED BY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN WITHIN 10 DAYS.
Activity Eligibility Guidelines
These guidelines apply to ALL grade levels and pertain to all:
- sporting events

1. Thirteen (13) or more unexcused period absences - Any student with 13 or more will be ineligible.

3. Downey Unified School District attendance policy BP/AR 2160:

c. For additional information, please reference our Parent/Student Guide under Parent Resources on our District website.
4. Unverified absences - After 10 days, unverified absences will only be excused by attending Saturday School or by providing legal documentation specifying the dates to be excused.
Attendance can be reviewed and excused using Parent Connect.
Off-Campus Passes
If a parent/guardian needs to take their student out of school before the end of the school day, the parent needs to write a note, send it with their student the same day, and have their student turn in the note to the attendance office before school. The off-campus pass will be ready for the student to pick up during snack. Please make sure that the note has the following information:
- Name and ID of student
- Time and reason for the early dismissal
- Signature of the parent or legal guardian only
The attendance office will contact the parent to verify authenticity of the note. If unable to contact the parent or legal guardian, the student will not be permitted to leave campus.
Out of an abundance of caution and safety, only the parent or legal guardian has the authority to request an early dismissal. “Emergency contacts” are to be utilized by the school in case of a school emergency. Students will not be released to emergency contacts unless the Attendance Office has been provided with written authorization from parent/guardian ahead of time. Anyone checking out a student must have a valid ID card.
