Attendance Matters

We want you here!

Student growth, achievement, and a positive outlook on school all begin with one key factor—being present!


Our goal is for every Jaguar to attend at least 90% of the school year. The more students are in class, the more opportunities they have to learn, grow, and succeed.


Every day matters. Let's work together to make sure each day counts toward building a brighter future for our students!
