Please help us keep accurate attendance records and ensure the safety of all students.

• If your student will be absent, please contact the school office within 48 hours to report the absence.

• If your student arrives late, please bring them to the office and make sure they are signed in.

Your child's attendance in school impacts their academic achievement and growth, social growth, and long-term future success. We want your child here every day (when they are healthy)!

Thank you for helping us maintain accurate attendance records and a safe school environment! 💙

Throughout the month of November, we will focus on the character trait of TEAMWORK. Use the information in the newsletter below for ideas of how you can incorporate intentional activities and conversation starters in your family to help your child grow and develop teamwork.
