Attendance
Attendance plays an important part in the education experience of a student. When students attend school every day and on time they are more likely to achieve academic success, feel like they are part of their school community, and are exposed to more opportunities that support them in their educational journey. We understand there are reasons a student may need to miss school, but minimizing the frequency of these events will support our students in achieving success. There are also supports available at school if your child is struggling with their attendance. We look forward to working together to make to make this a great year.
Please reach out to the attendance tech or front office via phone, email, written note, or in-person to notify us when your student is absent.
Please reach out to our School Counselor or Outreach Specialist if you or your child need additional support with attendance or other needs.
