Attendance
It is very helpful when parents/guardians call our attendance clerk for absences and tardies. Please be sure to reach out to Mr. Daffern when your child is going to be absent or tardy.
My goal is to work in partnership with our families. I am seeking your assistance with tardies. We are seeing a dramatic increase in our morning tardies over the last few weeks.
Excused Tardy- An excused tardy refers to any tardy that is excused by a parent/guardian. An excused tardy requires that a parent/guardian is present with their child when signing into school later than the start time of 8:50 am. Per state attendance protocols we cannot excuse a tardy unless the parent is physically present. A note and/or phone call cannot be accepted to excuse your child's late arrival.
Unexcused Tardy-An unexcused tardy refers to any student who arrives at school after 8:50am without a parent/guardian to sign them into school.
Tardies are NOT being assigned to our late bus arrivals.
In order to help deter unexcused tardies, we will be following the handbook's guidelines on excessive tardies.
I appreciate your assistance with this rising concern.
It is very helpful when parents/guardians call our attendance clerk for absences. Please be sure to reach out to Mr. Daffern when your child is going to be absent.
The attendance line is 623-547-1103.
Mr. Daffern's email address is daffern@lesd.k12.az.us
We appreciate your support with this.
Communication is Essential
We encourage all parents/guardians to keep the lines of communication open. If you have a question do not hesitate to reach out to your child's homeroom teacher and/or advisor for support.
