Attendance Updates
Our school wide goal for attendance is 98% present each and every school day. Every day counts! Please plan appointments early enough that your student can be checked in by 11:30 or later in the day so that they can be in school until at least 11:30 in order to avoid being counted absent. Please remember, everyday counts!
Was your student absent? Do they need an excuse?
Form attendance excuses were sent home last week for you to use if your child is absent and needs a parent excuse. A blank copy is attached below. You do not have to use this excuse, but we hopes it makes providing excuses a little easier! Blank copies are also kept at the front office and you can fill them out when you come to drop your child off late or pick your child up early.
Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of Bedtime Stories!
The Book Fair is Coming!
The library will host a book fair from February 21 - February 26. Please be on the lookout for parent sign up information soon!
We will have a book fair family night February 25. We will need parent volunteers to make this event a success. Please be on the lookout for parent sign up information soon!
