During the month of September, we are competing with HMS for the most improved attendance rate. We currently have the trophy and want to extend our reign.

Attending school each day is a critical component for school success. Help us win the competition by encouraging your child to make regular attendance in school a priority.

Check out the video our Student Leadership Team created to promote the friendly competition. This week, we had 701 students earn perfect attendance! That is something to celebrate!
