If a student is not present for a class, they are either marked AU (Absent Unexcused) or AE (Absent Excused). The designation AE is only used when a parent notifies the front office of an impending absence and the reason for absence is an illness or a doctors appointment.
If a student is tardy to class, they will be marked TU (Tardy Unexcused) if they show up within 5 minutes of the start of class. If they are more than 5 minutes late, they will be marked AU. A student may be marked TE (Tardy Excused) if they are late for class, but have a note from an administrator.
Parents should call the office (520-881-4240) for the absence to be considered excused. Students are encouraged to email their teachers to see what they will miss, but parents must call or notify the school in order for the absence to be accounted for.
