Chronic absenteeism is a leading indicator of academic failure for students of all ages and can even predict high school dropout. 
Parents may not be as aware of what the research says: that missing 10% of the school year – which translates to just 2 days a month or 18 days per school year – as early as kindergarten – can take their children off track academically. 

Arriving late or being checked out early will
inevitably add to this statistic. 

Getting make-up work doesn’t make up for lost instruction time and class discussion.  Please do your best to limit missed days, tardies and early check-outs so we can do our part to educate your children in the best way we know how.  




To report an absence you may call the school at 480-632-0722 or you may email at attendancegilbert@bfcsmail.com
