Parents: If your student is going
to be absent, please make sure you
notify the office! The direct line for attendance is (480) 472-9292 and is available 24 hrs a day.

Regular attendance and arriving at school on time help children develop positive attitudes about learning. Frequent absences or tardies cause a disruption to the learning process and are upsetting for students.

Pursuant to ARS 15-807; Absence From School; Notification of Parent or Person Having Custody of Pupil:

1. In case of absence from school, the parent/guardian is required to notify the school attendance personnel in advance of, or at the time of absence. School Attendance Office number to be called is: (480) 472-9292.

2. At the time of registration, the parent/guardian is required to furnish the school with at least one telephone number, if available, where the parent/guardian may be contacted during the school day. If there is a change in telephone numbers during the school year, the parent/guardian is to notify the school office promptly.

3. In case a student is absent from school and the parent/guardian has not notified the school, school attendance personnel will make a reasonable effort to notify parent/guardian within two (2) hours after the first class in which the pupil is absent. 
   A student with 5 or more unexecused absences is considered habitually truant.

4. 3 Unexcused absences in a row may result in a welfare check by an MPS Security Officer. Please remain in contact with the school regarding your student's absence.
