Student Conduct and Attendance

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Mullen High School.
The policies, procedures and guidelines at Mullen are designed to educate, promote, and contribute to the Five Core Lasallian Principles of our community. As a current, incoming or prospective family, we encourage you to explore and become familiar with our Student Handbook, attendance policy, dress standard, code of conduct and other policies. We encourage you to contact us should you have any questions.

Dress Code Frequently Asked Questions

List of 5 frequently asked questions.

  • Why does Mullen have a Dress & Appearance Code?

    In keeping with the Lasallian Core Principle of Inclusive Community, we maintain a uniform dress and appearance code. Abiding by the Mullen dress code offers students a means to demonstrate their full participation in our school community.

    On a spirit dress day students are allowed to wear jeans, Mullen sweatpants, Mullen t-shirts, and senior spirit overalls, as well as additional Mullen approved clothing.

Attendance Frequently Asked Questions

List of 8 frequently asked questions.

  • Who do I notify when I'll be absent?

    The Office of Student Conduct and Attendance is modifying its attendance protocol. To help accommodate families, we will allow a parent/guardian to call as late as 10:00 am, beginning on Tuesday, September 24.  It’s imperative that OSCA’s attendance records are accurate.  It’s our hope that an additional hour to excuse a student will ensure a more authentic attendance record.  

    Please note that any messaging received after 10:00 am on a particular day will not be accepted.  Students who are not called in by the designated time will be marked ‘absent/tardy unexcused’ and receive an infraction.

  • What if I'm running late?

    If you won't make it to school by the time the bell rings, please check in with the Secretary of Attendance for a tardy slip. Your parent or guardian will need to call and let us know why you're running late. If we don't hear from them, it'll count as an "unexcused tardy" and you'll have to serve detention.

  • What do I do if I need to leave early?

    Your parent(s) or guardian(s) will need to call the Secretary of Attendance (303.761.1266) to give advance notice that you'll need to leave early.

  • What if I'll be absent for a while?

    We really encourage parents/guardians to avoid scheduling family trips or vacations that would result in you, the student, missing school. However, if you need to be absent for 4 or more days, please come collect an "Extended Absence" form from the Office of Student Conduct and Attendance.

  • What is an "excessive" number of absences?

    OSCA will review the records of any student who misses an individual class 10 times or is absent from  50 total classes (7 full days of school) during a particular semester.  Consequences for excessive absences may include attending a Parent-Assistant Principal conference and being placed on an Attendance Contract.  Missing an individual class 15 times could result in a student being withdrawn from the class.

  • What is Truancy?

    "Truancy" is the term we use for students who:
    • come to school but do not report to class
    • leave school without notifying the Secretary of Attendance
    • leave class without permission
    • do not report to a location they asked for permission to report to.
    Truancy will result in immediate notification of the student’s parent or guardian, and the student will be referred to the Dean of Student for further action.

  • Can I attend class virtually (through Zoom)?

    We will only be allowing virtual attendance if the school has called a distance learning day for inclement weather.

  • I'm (finally) a Senior! Can I go off-campus?

    Yes, as long as you and your parent or guardian have completed the electronic permission form. Please remember, though, that this is a privilege and not a right -- it can be taken away!
