Attendance
School Hours, Attendance, and Tardies
Our school hours are from 7:30 AM - 2:15 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 7:30 AM - 12:30 PM on Wednesdays. Students need to arrive on campus with enough time to arrive to their classes before the late bell rings. Please be sure to accommodate entering campus through security devices. There will be lines to enter campus.

Regular student attendance is necessary to provide the greatest opportunity for student academic success.
-
If you need to call in an absence for your student, please contact 623-932-7200 Extension 2 and leave your student’s name, ID number, date, and the reason for the absence and it will be processed as soon as possible.
-
Students who are late to any class during the day will be marked tardy. 5 tardies to a class will be the equivalent of 1 absence for the class.
-
Attendance Appeals will be held when a student misses 10 or more classes in a particular course.

An Attendance Appeal could result in the loss of credit for the student. Please refer to the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook and review the district policy regarding attendance and tardiness.
Don't be Late to Class!
"The time you take to prepare shows the respect you have for the opportunity." - William Arthur Ward
Part of our Portrait of a Graduate is to prepare students to be responsible adults. This includes being on time to all classes every day.
Students who are more than 15 minutes late to class will be marked absent for that period. An accumulation of 5 tardies will equal 1 absence.
Consequences
5 tardies - Detention
10 tardies - Extended detention
15 tardies - Office referral (may result in ISS or OSS)
