Do you have a sick child? When to keep your student home:
School policy requests a child stay home if he or she:
Has a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher.
Keep your child home until his or her fever—100.4 or higher—has been gone for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
Has been vomiting or has diarrhea without a fever.
Keep your child home 24 hours after the last vomiting or diarrhea episode.
Has symptoms that keep him or her from participating in school, such as:
Very tired or lack of appetite.
Cough that he or she cannot control.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Moderate to severe headache, body aches, or earache.
Sore throat—a minor sore throat is ok for school, but a severe sore throat could be strep throat, even if there is no fever.
New loss of taste or smell.
Support Tax Credit
Arizona tax law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers a tax credit of up to $400 if they elect to support school extracurricular activities.
Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar REDUCTION in your personal state income tax, NOT a donation or itemized deduction! The amount you contribute is subtracted directly from your State Income Tax liability when you file your taxes.
100% of your contribution goes to the school, program, & even student of YOUR choosing!
There are over 80 clubs/sports for you to choose from, encompassing all 8 of our schools and all ages. The funds can only be used for Extra- and Co-Curricular activities occurring before/after normal school hours, NOT in classrooms.
In the prior tax year, Tax Credit contributions helped raise over $440,000 dollars for extracurricular activities — like band, sports, and kindergarten enrichment — in our schools.
