We hold screenings on the first Friday of the month for ages three through five (who are not eligible for Kindergarten) who may be at-risk for handicapping conditions or developmental delays in areas like: gross motor coordination, fine motor coordination, vision, hearing, language development and articulation, concepts and memory, or social/emotional development. An appointment will be necessary, so call the Federal Programs Office at (502) 457-4001. If your child is determined to be handicapped or developmentally delayed, preschool services will be provided to help them maximize their educational experience.

Regular attendance is so important to you child’s academic success. Absences disrupt schedules, require readjustment to class routines, and slow down learning. Students should be in school every day unless they are ill. It is very important that the school is notified by the parent or guardian as soon as possible if a student will be absent. If the school is not notified by 10:20 a.m., state law (AZ Revised Statutes 15-803) requires a call be made to verify the child’s absence. Message machines are available for you to call in your child’s absence at 456-9842. Please state the type of illness when you call.

A note from the parent explaining the type of absence is required when phone verification is unsuccessful. Homework may be requested after the third absence. Requests should be submitted before 11:00 a.m.

Being on time is important. If your student is late for class, he or she must report to the office before going to the classroom. Your student will be given a pass to take to the classroom teacher. If they have continuousl unexcused tardiness, you will be notified and it may be necessary for your child to make the time up during lunch, recess, passing period, or after school. Excessive tardies are a disruption and may result in an office referral.

For the safety and protection of students, Tombstone Unified School District does not allow students to be taken from the school before our regular dismissal time without the parent first coming to the office and signing their student out. Your student will then be called from the classroom. Occasionally a student may sign out early on the basis of a note or telephone call from the parent, but only with the principal's approval. If the student returns before the end of the school day, he/she must be signed back in at the office.

We know that parents and community members are a source of special skills. They provide personal attention and can be an extra pair of hands as a school volunteer. There are so many ways volunteers can help. Volunteers can be:

Classroom Helpers
Copy Center Assistants
Clerical Aides
Media Center Assistants
Health Office Assistants
Field Trip Helpers
Resource Speakers
Tutors
Reading Mentors
Helpful in many other areas

If you can share some time with us, please give us a call. We know many moms, parents, and guardians work during the day, but we want you to feel welcome to help whenever you can. If you are interested in volunteering at Huachuca City Elementary, please contact the school office at (520) 456-9842.

For all of our student's safety we require that all visitors report to the school office upon arrival. A school visitor is anyone who is not enrolled or working at our school?s site. Visitors must sign in at the office before entering any of our school buildings or grounds.

We encourage students to take pride in their attire as it relates to the school setting. Students are expected to dress appropriately and in a way, which reflects personal, and school pride. Clothing should be neat, clean, modest and in good taste. Any apparel that the administration determines to be unacceptable in light of community standards is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, clothing that offends or disrupts the educational process. If you have specific questions, please contact the office. A few of the guidelines are:

• Inappropriate clothing includes: halter tops, strapless tops, spaghetti straps, exposed undergarments, see-through clothing, shirts that bare the midriff, garments with plunging necklines and "muscle shirts" or basketball shirts without an accompanying T-shirt.
• All straps on shirts must be at least one inch in width. Blouses and shirts must be long enough to reach the pants, shorts, or skirts so that the midriff does not show.
• Extremely baggy or saggy pants/shorts are not allowed for safety and security reasons. Length of shorts and skirts needs to be in close proximity to mid-thigh.
• Pajamas and slippers are prohibited, except on approved school spirit week activities. Shoes must be worn at all times.
• Clothing, accessories and/or head coverings that identify or have been altered to identify with illegal organizations are prohibited.
• Clothing that portrays racial statements, profane or inflammatory language, and/or sexual depiction/innuendo will not be permitted.
• Accessories that can be used as weapons, such as chains, spiked jewelry, or hanging belts are not allowed.
• Clothing that advertises or advocates the use of alcohol, illegal substances, sex, or tobacco, may not be worn.
• Head coverings may not be worn in the classrooms. Head coverings may include but are not limited to caps, hats, beanies, and scarves (unless approved by the administration).

Parents are always encouraged to discuss bus stop safety and school bus rules with your child. For detailed rules, visit our Transportation page.

Yes, we employ a registered nurse to take care of health problems that arise in the course of the school day. The Health Office is open during the regular school hours. Please advise the nurse and your child's teacher of any special health concerns that affect your child. The school nurse gives first aid only. She does not diagnose illness or prescribe treatment, but notes symptoms and notifies parents/guardians if the severity of the illness or injury warrants such action. Parents/Guardians should follow up with their family physician. Here are some Health Office Guidelines to help you.

Yes, we have some helpful Safety Guidelines for both bike and walking safety, as well as some explanation to parents about general safety procedures we follow at Huachuca City Elementary.

Please place your student's name on all of his/her personal belongings such as coats, lunch boxes, gloves, sweaters, etc. Lost items will be kept in the "Lost and Found" at the school. Students may check the Lost and Found for missing items (ask in the office). Parents are also encouraged to check the Lost and Found for missing items when they are on campus. Unclaimed items will be donated to a local charitable organization.

Report cards are issued four times a year, each 9-week period. Report cards are sent home with your child. You are welcome to provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope for mailing. You may also request conferences at any time during the school year. In addition, twice a year there are scheduled conferences to talk about your student with his or her teachers about any special needs, your child's progress, etc.
