when a student is absent, it is necessary for the parent to call the school (602-347-2011) on or before the day of absence in order to advise the school as to the reason for the absence. All absences not verified by parental or administrative authorization will remain unexcused. If a parent does not have access to a phone, either at home or at work, a note will be accepted for verification purposes. For absences greater than one day in length, the school should be notified each day of the absence. If a child is absent and a message has not been received by 9:00, a dial-out will be sent to the parent/guardian stating that his or her child is not at school
