2023-24 School Calendar
We look forward to a new school year with you!
Absences
Pursuant to A.R.S. 15-901(A)(1) excused absences shall be identified by the Department of Education. The department of Education defines an excused absence as, “An absence due to illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, family emergency, and out-of-school suspension.” All absences in excess of a cumulative 10% of the instructional days for the school year shall be reported as unexcused. Pursuant to A.R.S. 15-803(A), in order for any of the above absences to be excused, a child who is under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or authorized person.”In order for absences relating to doctor or dental appointments to be excused, students must sign in at the office with a note produced by the doctor’s or dentist’s office. Absences relating to illness will be excused for three consecutive days upon daily parent notification. When a student is absent for the 4th consecutive day, due to illness, a doctor’s note is required. In order for absences relating to bereavement, or school approved family travel to be counted as excused absences, the principal or office personnel must be notified prior to the absence.
Any student, grades 9-12, who misses ten percent (10%) or more of any class (usually five or more per semester) in any given subject, forfeits credit for that subject. This applies to all absences except those incurred while on school business.
Chronic Illness
Students with a chronic and/or recurring illness must provide documentation, signed by a doctor, and on file in the health Office if they are experiencing a chronic illness. A new form is required for each school year. A parent/guardian should be in contact with the school regarding the chronic health problem. A parent/guardian should contact a site administrator to develop an academic plan related to class work missed during absences. Absences due to a chronic illness are exempt from the cumulative 10% rule if they meet the guidelines of A.R.S. 15-346.
