Attendance
Our campus goal is to have a daily attendance rate of 95% or higher. To date our cumulative percentage rate is 93.15% Please help us meet our goal by ensuring your child is in attendance everyday! Some ways you can help us increase our daily attendance rate is by scheduling doctor and dentist appointments after 3:00 PM or on days when we have a break. Please remember research shows there's a direct link between good attendance and high achievement!
