Attendance Policy
Please call (505) 764-2020 to report your child absent or tardy.
- Make every effort to be on time and present every day! This gives your child the very best opportunity to learn and be successful in school. Students are considered tardy if they arrive after 7:35am, and will need to get a tardy slip from the office before going to class.
- The parent/guardian must notify the school each day a student is absent.
- Bring documentation of doctor’s visits or appointments to the office clerk when students return to school.
