Attendance

Show your PRIDE! It is important that you respect yourself, your friends, and your teachers by showing up for school on time, every day. Tardies and absences prevent you from excelling in school because you miss instructional time in class, as well as social opportunities with your friends. The following information provides clarification regarding PVHS attendance terms, policies and consequences.
 

Attendance Line: (602) 449-7001

Parents/guardians must report all absences within 24 hours.

Tardies

A student arriving late to class (20 minutes or fewer) is considered tardy. Tardies can only be excused with a medical, dental, or legal note. We also understand that extenuating circumstances (traffic, car problems, etc.) may result in students being tardy/late to 1st block.

Students will be allowed 4 tardies (1st block only) per semester before receiving detention.

Absences

A student who arrives late to class (more than 20 minutes) or a student who does not attend class is considered absent, or truant.

Absences can be excused with a medical, dental, or legal note or with a phone call from your parent/guardian.

Attendance Violations and Consequences

Visitors

For the safety and security of our students, we ask all visitors to sign in at the front office when they arrive on campus. All guest speakers and classroom presenters need to be pre-approved by administration.

Closed Campus

Students cannot leave campus during the school day without permission.

Arizona Law

The state of Arizona requires that all students attend school 90 percent of the school year. PVSchools students attend school 180 days per year, which means that a PVHS student has nine (9) allowable absences per semester. When a student reaches nine absences in a semester, a doctor’s note may be required to excuse any further absences. A student who is absent more than 10 percent (18 days) of the required number of school days per year is considered to have “excessive absences,” whether the absences are excused or unexcused. An absence is defined as a minimum of one missed class period per day.
