Attendance Matters

Please join us in reaching our goal of 96% attendance!  This means that students must have:

• No more than one absence for every five weeks (25 instructional days) of school.
• No more than SEVEN TOTAL absences in the entire school year.

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and themselves. Creating a habit of good attendance is important.  Good attendance will help children do well later in high school, college, and work.

• Be sure to come to school every day
• Be in the gate by 8:10 a.m.
• Stay healthy by washing your hands, going to bed on time and eating nutritious meals
• If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please bring him/her to school before or after the appointment
• Maintain a positive attitude about school and attendance because children are taught to value education by the adults in their lives
