Truancy and Compulsory Education

Canyons School District is committed to providing quality education to its students and is concerned when a child misses school for any reason. The Canyons School District requires that all children achieve mastery in the basic skills identified for reading, language arts, and mathematics. Absence from School interferes with a child’s opportunity to master these skills.

Compulsory Education
