ATTENDANCE REMINDERS
One of our goals is to encourage improved attendance and on time arrivals at New River Elementary School. We need your help in accomplishing this goal. You can assist by ensuring your child attends school on a regular basis and is ready for the bus on time each day. Each year our school board approves a school calendar (located in this book). We ask that you plan all vacations and special appointments around these calendars. Even though medical and dental appointments are excused absences, they should be scheduled after school hours or during recess times whenever possible. If your child is unable to attend school, please call and advise the school office of the reason for the absence by 9:00 a.m. at 623-376-3590. This is an automated voice mail system and will be available for your use 24 hours a day. An unreported absence will result in a phone call from the office to the parent at home or at work. If phone contact has not been made with the school, the parent should send a note to the teacher the morning the student returns to school. The note should contain the student’s name, date(s) of absence, specific reason for absence and the parent’s signature. Although we have many early release Fridays @ 2:00 p.m., this is still considered a full day of school for students.
