We would like to remind all 7th and 8th grade students of the importance of regular and timely attendance. Your presence in class is crucial for your academic success.

Please note that students who have accumulated two or more unexcused tardies to school during a one week period will be required to serve an after-school detention. If you have documentation to excuse any of the tardies, please submit it to the main office.

Detention Schedule:

• 7th Grade: 3:05-3:45 PM - Main Office

Transportation: Parents or guardians must pick students up from detention at the designated times. There is no need to enter the building.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
