Note from the Principal - Attendance Reminder
Dear Families,
Regular school attendance plays an important role in your child’s academic success and overall school experience. When students attend school consistently, they are better able to build strong learning habits, stay connected with their classmates and teachers, and fully participate in daily instruction and activities. Even missing a few days of school can make it difficult for students to keep up with learning.
We ask for your continued support in ensuring that students attend school each day whenever they are healthy and able to do so.
As a reminder:
After five consecutive absences, a doctor’s note will be required to excuse additional absences.
If your child is sick, please keep them home until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
If your child will be absent, please notify the school office as soon as possible.
Our goal is to support every student in being present, engaged, and ready to learn each day.
If you have questions or need support related to attendance, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
