Due to numerous problems and safety concerns, we want to remind everyone that student lunches are not allowed to be delivered anywhere on campus. Food, drinks, or other items must not be passed to students through the fence. This is strictly prohibited.


Additionally, outside food delivery services such as Uber Eats and DoorDash are not permitted. Any food deliveries dropped off on campus will be confiscated.

Attendance Counts

Please remember that attendance counts, every period, every day. Students will be marked absent if they are not present at the beginning of each period to verify their attendance.


All single-period absences will need to be reconciled through the attendance office by the student. If marked absent, student and parent/guardian will receive a notification from the attendance office informing them of the absence. The notification will include the date and period of the absence. The student will need to contact the Attendance Department to make any necessary corrections to their individual period attendance. For full-day absences, a parent/guardian must contact the attendance office by the end of the day.

Attendance Reporting Hotline:

11 & 12 Grades: 909 - 444-3625

9 & 10 Grades: 909 - 444-3642

2024-2025 Rules & Expectations at Walnut High School
