We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable due to illness or other circumstances. However, we encourage you to prioritize school attendance whenever possible. Here are some ways you can help:

• Establish a consistent bedtime and morning routine.
• Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
• Communicate with the school promptly regarding any absences.
• If your child is ill, please follow the schools guidelines for when they can return.

Please make sure that if your student is out, that they bring a note with them when they return to school.

Please make sure your students know how they are going home, and to let the front office know/ your child's teacher know if there are any changes.

Please make sure that your children have their bus tag on their backpacks each day.
