Parents of Enrolled Students

In accordance with A.R.S. § 15-184(J), parents of students enrolled at the school may request to visit, tour, or observe their child’s classroom. All campus visit requests must be received by the school at least 5 business days in advance of the proposed visit. The school may waive the 5-business day advance notice requirement on a case-by-case basis. Request forms are available in the school office or on the website. During any approved campus visit, parents will be subject to all policies applicable to campus visitors, including safety requirements for providing identification, refraining from taking picture/recording video, signing in and out of the campus, and if applicable, being accompanied by school staff.

Parents of Potential Students

In accordance with Arizona law, parents who wish to enroll their child in the school may sign up for a campus visit by visiting the school front office. Parents of potential students will be required to be accompanied at all times during any campus visit by a current staff member.

Health and Safety Parameters

For purposes of this policy, the following requests threaten to interfere with the physical, intellectual, social, or emotional health and/or safety of students and staff, and are therefore not allowed:

• Requests for campus visits during state testing, other testing periods, or at other times that would clearly interfere with educational instruction or disrupt the educational environment.
• Requests for campus visits by parents who have demonstrated failure to abide by Parent Behavioral Expectations below, or who have otherwise failed to abide by campus visitation policies of the school.
• Requests that may threaten to interfere with the physical, intellectual, social, or emotional health and/or safety of students and staff.

Parent Behavioral Expectations

During any campus visit, parents are expected to check in and out at the school office to receive a visitors badge and to act at all times in a manner that is respectful and conducive to a healthy and safe learning environment. Any parental behavior or attire that constitutes harassment, bullying, or verbal or physical abuse of staff or students, or that otherwise disrupts the educational environment is expressly prohibited. In addition, parents may not interfere with instruction or distract from the instructional environment, including taking any photographs/video or helping their child with their schoolwork during a campus visit.

Parents who disregard these behavioral expectations while on school grounds will be removed from campus; may be prohibited from future campus visits or subject to other limitations on future campus visits; and may be subject to other consequences under applicable law or policy.
