Parents, please give staff 24 – 48 hours to respond to emails or phone calls.  If you have not received an email or a call back, please call the front office for further assistance.

PAPA remains committed to the safety and well-being of all of our students. This includes the protection of student educational records, FERPA. We will never allow unscheduled guests to come to campus or pull out any student without explicit permission from the parent/guardian. Thank you for bringing your ID when you pick up your child early.

Possession or distribution of tobacco products, e-cigarettes, nicotine liquid containers, alcohol, mood-altering substances, and illicit drugs in school buildings, school premises, and away from school grounds at school-sponsored activities is prohibited for all. This includes students, staff, and families.

Please remember to drive slowly and obey all speed limits around the school, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. Even if you are running late, safety comes first—there is no need to speed.  Additionally, please be mindful not to block neighborhood driveways when parking or waiting. Let’s work together to keep our school community safe and respectful.  Thank you for your cooperation!

5•7•10 RULE 

● Five unexcused absences: When a child has accumulated five unexcused absences, school personnel will arrange a meeting at the school with the parent or legal guardian to discuss the unexcused absences. A plan to improve attendance will be developed and implemented.

● Seven unexcused absences: When a child has accumulated seven unexcused absences, school personnel will arrange a second meeting at the school with the parent or legal guardian to review the attendance plan and discuss the impact of truancy on the future of the child. At this time, the child may enter into an attendance contract requiring him or her to attend school regularly, or other consequences may be applied (i.e., removal from PAPA to attend the child’s home school in the case of transportation issues).

● Ten unexcused absences: If a student has accumulated an equivalent of ten or more unexcused absences within a school year, the parent shall be given written notice by personal service or certified mail that the student is habitually truant and is not in compliance with the Compulsory Attendance School Law. At that time, the student shall be reported to the probation services office of the judicial district where the student resides for an investigation as to whether the student shall be considered to be a neglected child or a child in a family in need of services because of habitual truancy.

Being Present Matters!
