Attendance
Maya High School believes there is a clear and positive correlation between student learning and consistent and prompt attendance in class. The regular school attendance of a student is required by Arizona law.
Absences: In order to receive credit for a course, a student must attend class each day and complete all work required at a level that is acceptable by the teacher. Attendance is mandatory! Arizona State law requires attendance 90% of the time to receive credit. If a student is absent on any day of the week, he or she is required to come in during Focus Friday prior to that week ending. If a student is absent more than 10% of the time (more than 6 absences at the end of the block), may result in loss of course credit. These criteria meet the state requirements for class attendance/earned credit.
Parent Notification - Absences: All absences will be phoned into the office. If the school does not receive a phone call by the guardian/parent regarding the student's absence, then the school will notify the parent to verify the absence.
- Students are required to attend ninety percent (90%) of each course, each block, in order to receive course credit. The school runs on a block schedule, 36-38 days per block, 3 classes per day, and 1 hour and 50 minutes per class in order to receive credit.
- A student who abuses the attendance policy will meet with our Dropout Prevention Coordinator and their attendance monitored.
- Parents/Guardians will be contacted for a meeting to review attendance, if the absences continue, it could lead to a schedule change for the student.
