Hello, Lewis Families,

Please note an important change to our attendance process this new year. To enhance our focus on student safety, automated attendance calls through Remind will now begin at 9:30 AM instead of 10:30 AM. To avoid receiving a call, please report your child's absence to the school before 9:30 AM. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Ms. Tracey

Lewis School Secretary
