Attendance Updates Attendance Updates

Our school wide goal for attendance is 98% present each and every school day. Every day counts! Please plan appointments early enough that your student can be checked in by 11:30 or later in the day so that they can be in school until at least 11:30 in order to avoid being counted absent.


Overall attendance is UP for both the elementary and middle school compared to last week.

Way to go 4th and 7th grade for being our attendance leaders again this past week!
