Start Your Child Off With The Best Advantage!
Making a commitment to have your child on time to school and attending school EVERYDAY is a significant advantage to give to your child/ren. Let's make this year the BEST one yet for you and your child/ren!
Per State guidelines: In order for absences relating to illness, doctor appointments, bereavement, family emergencies, or district approved family vacation to be counted as excused absences, the school must be notified in advance or at the time of any absence by the parent or other person who has custody of the student per A.R.S. 15-807 (B). Absences cannot be marked excused if parents call after the date of the absence.
