Attendance Requirements
Daily Attendance Requirements
Arizona Department of Education Guidelines, in the full-time equivalency statement signed by all parents and students during registration:
| Grade Level | Minimum Course Enrollment | Annual Hours | Weekly Minimum | Daily Minimum time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7-8 | 4 | 1,068 hours | 30 hours | 6 hours per day (360 minutes per day) |
| 9-12 | 4 | 900 hours | 25 hours | 5 hours per day (300 minutes per day) |
Arizona Law requires that students taking online courses away from their school site keep a daily log for their time spent on academic tasks, related to their online learning. Attendance is kept by our learning management system for our 7th – 12th grade students.
Students need to be in attendance daily with their teacher, completing all necessary assignments and meeting the minimum attendance requirements. If you have late, missing assignments or a failing grade, it is a requirement to work beyond the daily hours of school to catch up (homework).
If a student misses 10 or more days worth of school they will be in AUDIT. This is equivalent to 50 hours of virtual attendance for High School students and 60 hours of virtual attendance for Middle School students.
