A government-issued ID is required for every visit. Furthermore, food deliveries are only permitted from immediate family members; commercial delivery services will be rejected.
Regarding attendance, the school requires parents to contact the school to excuse an absence within one week. Absences can be excused by calling 801-374-4980 and selecting option #2, emailing smsattendance@provo.edu, or turning in a doctor's note to the Attendance office. When reporting an absence, parents must provide the student's name, the parent's name, the dates, the reason for the absence, and a contact phone number.
For questions concerning student grades or missing assignments, parents are directed to contact teachers or school counselors.
