Enrollment Days

By enrolling in a part-time plan, families also select their attendance days. Desert Dragon staff plan ahead for students based on their enrollment; as such these attendance days should ideally remain consistent week-over-week. Alternate days are available on a first-come-first-served basis and subject to availability. 


Due to Desert Dragon Learning Community’s open door policy, no credits or refunds are provided for sick days, vacation days, calendar holidays, calendar professional development days, half-days, or other missed days. Desert Dragon does not offer makeup days for missed days.
