Attendance
Regular attendance is a critical component of student success. Parents are strongly encouraged to ensure that their children attend school except in the case of unavoidable absences such as sickness and family emergency. If you know that your child will be away, please call the school so that their attendance can be corrected.

Arriving Late/Leaving Early
If your child is going to be late or needs to be excused early, please send a note with your child. The note can be brought to the front office in the morning and we will give them either a late slip or an early dismissal slip. This will ensure that classes are not interrupted.
