Attendance Matters!
Increasing student attendance is one of our big goals for the year. We will have 9 week incentives, by grade level, that are going to be tied to good attendance. Please encourage your student to come to school every day!
*Students who are more than 10 minutes late to class will be counted absent.
*Make-up time will be required for those not in attendance for at least 90% of the day.
*Early release cut off is 2:40 pm
*Make-up hours will be required for those who miss over 10% of a class
Absence notes can be turned into the front office or submitted electronically using Skyward Family Access. See below for an easy "how to."
