Yes, the cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch daily. We serve delicious and nutritious meals for our students and guests. For more information, visit our Food Service page.


What is the dress code at Nadaburg?

We care about what our students wear – appearance is part of inspiring our kids to be engaged, energized, and have fun at school. Nadaburg School students dress according to our mandatory uniform policy. You will find the detailed dress code here.


What should I do if my child must be absent?

Parents, please call the school office by 8:30 a.m. if a child is going to be absent from, or late to school. If a child does not arrive at school, we want to be sure he/she is safe with you.


What should we do if my child arrives late?

School officially begins at 8:45 am.  If your child arrives after that time, they will need to come through the front office to get a tardy slip.  If your child gets to school after 9:15 a.m. parents are asked to sign them in at the school office before they join their class.


Can my child go home with a friend after school?

Please inform the school of any change in your child’s transportation before 1:00 p.m. – otherwise your child will need to go home as usual. A student may not ride or walk home with another student or get off at a different bus stop without a note from a parent or a timely call to the office.


When will I have a parent/teacher conference?

Check our School Calendar to see designated Parent/Teacher conference days. Also, please feel free to call and arrange a time to speak with your child's teacher at your convenience. We find that communication between school and home allows us to support each other, so contact your child's teacher whenever you feel a need.


What if my child needs to take medicine at school?

The school nurse may administer medication only if she has a signed parent consent allowing this. You may request this form in the school office. We ask that you list emergency contact numbers for use when parents cannot be reached. Please list at least two people to contact in the event of student illness or injury, and review or update forms as needed or requested. Students may not have prescription or over-the-counter medications in their possession. All medicine should be given to the nurse for proper handling and dispensing. You and your child should keep prescription medication in the current pharmacy container, labeled with your child's name and correct dosage instructions. We ask that you and your child handle over-the-counter medications in the same way. The nurse will call your child from the classroom or cafeteria for timely administration of prescription and other medications.                                                                               

Does Nadaburg offer insurance?   

Arizona offers KidsCare, a free or low-cost health insurance for children who are not on ACCCHS. You can find out more information from the nurse or through the school office.

My child is in third grade - what is MOWR and what does it mean to us?


Arizona Revised Statute 15 – 701 states that if data on the third grade statewide reading assessment is available and demonstrates that a student scored “falls far below” the student shall not be promoted from the third grade. There are three exemptions in Arizona Revised Statute 15-701. In accordance with the new law, a school district governing board or the governing body of a charter school is allowed to promote a student who earns a score of “falls far below” on the third grade statewide reading assessment only for the following reasons:

The student is an English Language Learner or Limited English Proficient who has received less than two years of English instruction; or

A student with disabilities has an individualized education plan(IEP), and the IEP-team, which includes the student’s parent/guardian, agrees that promotion is appropriate; or

A student is in the process of a special education referral or evaluation for placement in special education and/or a student who has been diagnosed as having a significant reading impairment, including dyslexia.
