From the Principal
October 18, 2024
Dear Charger Families,
We hope you are enjoying the "cooler" fall weather as we move toward the end of October. It's been a refreshing start to the school day each morning.
We just wrapped up the 1st nine weeks. To view your child's report card, you can log into Skyward and click on "grades". The grades that are listed under Cycle 1 indicate the end of the 1st nine weeks and what your child received.
Attendance:
As we approach the cooler weather, we tend to have more students out due to sickness. Please make sure anytime your child misses a day of school you have them bring in an absent note for being out. If we do not receive a note, your child's absence is coded as "Unexcused". When a student accumulates 10 ore more unexcused absences within a certain time period, the student and parent will be referred to truancy court. Please make every effort to send in a note. You can also email your child's reason for being absent to our Attendance Secretary directly:

Have a great weekend!

Attendance Matters
8th Graders Taking High School Credit Courses
State Compulsory Attendance Law requires students to be in class at least 90% of the time.
An 8th Grader with more than 4 absences in a High School Course in a semester, will have to make up time to receive credit for that class, regardless of their grade.
Make up Time Options Are:
- Tutoring with a teacher from 8:00am-8:30am or after 4:00pm. These times must be prearranged with the teacher.
- Saturday School - Dates to be announced later in the semester.
The following absence types count AGAINST them for credit:
- "E-DND" - Doctors Note, absent all day
- "E" - Parent Note
- "F" - Funeral
- "U" - Unexcused
Attendance Hours cannot be made up while participating/practicing/rehearsing in extracurricular activities.
The Credit Recovery Log is available in the Front Office.
Please remember your student's attendance is available for review in Skyward.
Do not hesitate to contact your student's Assistant Principal should you have any attendance questions.
