SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Attendance Matters! Every Day Counts!
Please be sure your child is at school every day! Avoid learning loss and the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) consequences by having your child at school every day. Please communicate with the school if your child must miss class time. Schedule appointments outside of the school day when possible. Students should not have uncleared absences.
Call in your child's absence to 559-327-7900 or Report an Absence on your Parent Connection account!
LOST & FOUND
Please stop by and look at our Lost & Found items! Our Lost & Found is located near the blacktop.
Make sure to put your child's name on everything! This includes jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, sports bags, etc!
PARKING LOT SAFETY
For those picking up students in our school parking lot, please be sure you use the parking stalls if you leave your vehicle.
Additionally, for those staying in the car in line for drop-off/pick-up, your child must wait in the supervised area until you pull all the way up. Students are not allowed to walk through the line of waiting cars to enter their vehicle.
Thank you for your support with this matter! Your child's safety matters to us!
POSITIVITY PROJECT
WEEKLY POSITIVITY PROJECT FOCUS: Optimism
Our Positivity Project is a curriculum for character development and social emotional learning! Each week our entire campus will be participating in various lessons all involving the weekly Character Strength! We encourage you to talk to your student about what they have learned this week!
