What is your attendance policy?

By law, children enrolled in a public school must attend that school all day, every day. Please contact our office before 9:00 a.m. when you know your child will be absent and as soon as possible for unexpected absences. Parents/Guardians must sign their children in (if they arrive after 8:50 a.m.) and out. State law requires that parents/guardians provide documentation for any absence within one day of a child's return to school.

It is not possible to ensure that messages will be received in classrooms after this time. We do our best to accommodate changes, however, parents should notify the school well in advance of any changes to a child’s arrangements for transportation home.

Is there a dress code?

Yuma School District One’s policy prohibits the wearing of clothing displaying objectionable or gang-related symbols. Bare midriffs, see-through blouses, halter tops, thin straps, backless or strapless tops, muscle or mesh-type shirts, half t-shirts, and clothing or tattoos with inscriptions or pictures that are vulgar or offensive to others are prohibited. Excessively baggy, loose fitting, or cut-off clothing is not allowed. Pants and shorts must fit at the waist, and all undergarments must be covered. Any fashion pants should not have any rips above the fingertips. Caps may be worn outdoors but may not be worn backwards or sideways. Items that may cause injury, such as spiked jewelry or oversize earrings, are prohibited. Students should not bring nail polish, make-up, hair spray or color, or cologne/perfume to school.

School personnel will determine whether clothing is appropriate. Children wearing inappropriate clothing at school may call home to have acceptable clothing brought to school or may borrow appropriate clothing from the health office. Children may not be allowed to return to class until the objectionable article has been replaced.

Does the school offer insurance?

Yes. You may purchase school insurance for a nominal fee – call the office for details. Arizona offers low-cost insurance for children that ACCHS does not cover (call 1-800-764-KIDS), and uninsured families may receive care for their children with a referral from a District nurse.

What snacks are allowed?

We encourage that Hot Cheetos and Takis are not brought to school (this prevents upset stomachs and things from getting orange). Any snacks brought for the class should be arranged through the teacher for drop off. Snacks should be individually wrapped.
