Progress Reports
Attendance / Tardies
Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up. Students should be at school every day unless they are sick.
When a student misses 2 days a month:
* They miss 20 days a year.
*They miss 30 hours of math instruction.
* They miss 60 hours of reading and writing instruction
We understand students get sick, so when absences occur, please call our front office at 520-232-8002 to report it.
