Here, Everyday, Ready, On-Time!

Parental involvement plays a crucial role in ensuring consistent school attendance. When parents are engaged in their child’s education, students are more likely to attend school regularly, perform better academically, and develop a positive attitude towards learning.

Here’s why parental involvement matters:

• Establishing the value of education
• Monitoring and encouraging
• Early intervention for attendance issues
• Creating a supportive home environment
• Strengthening school-parent communication
• Role modeling consistency

Please avoid taking additional days off before and after Spring Break (4/14/2025 to 4/18/2025) to ensure that your student does not miss out on academic enrichment activities.

Attendance makes all the difference... send your student to school every day
