Please call the attendance line at 505-891-5335 (choose option 1) within 24 hours to report any absence or tardy. Leave the student's first and last name, grade, reason for absence, your first and last name, and relation to the student. You may fax Doctor's notes to 505-891-1180 or have your student bring them to the front office. If there is a malfunction with the attendance line, you may leave a message at extension 54650 or email me at vicki.pennock@rrps.net.

Please be aware: The New Mexico School Attendance Law, NMSA Section 22-12-1 et seq. which states, any parent or guardian not ensuring their child attends school may be guilty of violating this law.

After 3 consecutive days of absence due to illness we will require a doctor's note to continue excusing the student according to R.R.P.S. policy. We are obligated to report any student and their parent/guardian to the district truancy officer if the student accumulates 3 or more unexcused absences.

•  Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful, and on track to graduation.

•  By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.

• Missing just two days a month for the entire school year is known as chronic absenteeism.
