ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Our Best Rise in the East in Four Years!

Remember when Student Life asked for your best attendance -we are doing it! We have the best first Block of attendance (First 21 days) we've had in the past four years. The goal was to reduce chronic absenteeism to less than 10%. We are currently at 9.5% reducing the number of absent students by 50%.

Great job, Saints! Keep up the good work. We like seeing you at school.

Again, we want less red, less yellow, and more green.
