ATTENDANCE
The Tahlequah Public School District
believes there is a positive correlation between attendance and academic
performance. A district attendance regulation defines guidelines for excused
and unexcused absences and their documentation and student responsibilities
for make-up work.
TRANSPORTATION
Over 2,500 students are transported
daily by district school buses. Handicapped children use buses which are
specially equipped with lifts and other necessary equipment. The Transportation
Department's telephone number is 458-4168. Information on specific bus
routes can be found within this web site by clicking on the word TRANSPORTATION
