Fort Huachuca Accommodation Schools are Arizona public schools under the Department of Education. The schools are not Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS.) The school district is under the direction and authority of a school board and directly administered by a district superintendent. Financial support for Fort Huachuca Schools is derived from state aid and federal impact aid.

STUDENT ARRIVAL TIME

School grounds and buildings are open, and students are under supervision, fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of their school day until dismissal time. Students should not arrive more than fifteen (15) minutes before the start of the school day unless prior arrangements have been made. Students leaving school prior to regular dismissal time must be picked up by a parent or an approved emergency contact.

STUDENT TECHNOLOGY/TEXTBOOKS/SUPPLIES

Technology equipment (Chrome Books or similar devices) and Textbooks are furnished for student use at no expense to students. Misuse or unwarranted wear and tear of these items will result in charges for repairs. If the technology or textbooks are lost, students are responsible for the replacement cost of these items. The District makes every effort to provide basic school supplies however, there may be occasions when a teacher will request the student bring a special item. In the event a student cannot bring an item; efforts will be made to assist in obtaining the item for the student.

STUDENT IMMUNIZATIONS

According to Arizona law, those students whose immunizations are not up-to-date will not be allowed to attend school until verification is provided to the school nurse.

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation of students is a privilege extended to students in the District, and not a statutory requirement, except for transportation of students with disabilities as indicated in their IEP (Individual Education Program). Transportation funding is determined by the Arizona Department of Education and DOES NOT provide for transporting students within a one-mile radius of the schools. Students residing off-post must be transported to school by a parent or guardian. Students are NOT to arrive prior to fifteen (15) minutes before school starts; there are no staff members before that time to assist in student supervision. Students riding bicycles to school should make sure their bike is placed in the bike rack and locked to prevent loss. Transportation questions and/or inquiries should be directed to the Transportation/Maintenance Manager at:  520.458.5082 ext. 1401.

DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS

A School Board governs the District. Governing Board Meetings are held each month and are designed to communicate with the public. Meeting agendas are posted at each school building, the FHASD Support Center, District office, and on the District website www.fhasd.org In addition, each school sends home monthly newsletters and all three (3) schools host a marquee which announces special events/meetings and other information.

After registration your student you will receive a Student Handbook. The Student Handbook is a guide that contains information to familiarize you with your child's school. The District makes every attempt, when possible, to place important events/information on the district website and social media platforms. The school district also utilizes "REMIND” (A communication app) to improve communication between parents, and district staff.  This Application will also be the primary source of information during an emergency, school closure, or important updates.  The district will also use when possible: the Commander's Access Television Channel (97), radio stations, PAO (Public Affairs Office), and the PTO school Facebook pages in times of inclement weather or school closings.

The Superintendent sponsors an "open door” policy·. However, as in the military system, there is a chain of command. If a Parent has a concern or complaint, they should speak with the Teacher first; if the concern is not resolved, the Principal would be the next person to contact. If after meeting with the Teacher and Principal, there is still no resolution, then the Superintendent may be notified. The last link in the chain would be the School Board. A School Liaison Officer is also available to assist with unresolved concerns. The School Liaison Officer can be reached at: 520.533.0874.
