Regional Recognition

Canyon Charter was recognized at a recent Region West meeting for having the second-lowest chronic absence rate in the area, with only 5.9% of students in this category.

This achievement reflects the commitment of Canyon families to prioritizing consistent attendance.

Attendance Benchmarks

The 100th day of school is approaching. Student attendance is monitored daily with a goal of 94% or higher attendance for all students.

Families can check their child's attendance rate in the Parent Portal.

Health Guidelines

With illness circulating in the community, families are asked to keep children home when experiencing:

• Fever of 100.0 or above — Children should have a normal temperature for 24 hours without medication before returning
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea — Children should be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning
• Severe pain or difficulty breathing — Contact a healthcare provider

Helpful Reminders

• A partial school day does not count as an absence. If a child has an appointment, attending school before or after helps maintain attendance.
• Use the school calendar when planning family activities and appointments to avoid unnecessary absences.
• Prioritize health — keeping sick children home protects the entire community.
