Help your young student build relationships, establish healthy routines and safeguard early learning by focusing on regular attendance.

Did you know?: Even one or two absences every two weeks can affect a young learner’s ability to gain reading and math skills and build social relationships. Helping them show up to learn is the best way to give them a solid foundation to build on.

You cannot learn if you do not attend school.

Daily, regular attendance is essential in learning!!

Please encourage your child to attend school every single school day. This helps your student to be successful and self-assured.

In the event your student is truly ill (high fever, diarrhea or vomiting) bring in a doctor's note to the office to get the absence excused, please.

PLEASE remember!

Gym shoes are needed to participate in Physical Education.

You are welcome to keep your gym shoes at school if you choose.

PLEASE label your students gym shoes with their full name.

A very basic and important skill is shoe tying.

Please teach your student how to tie their shoes and practice, practice,practice until they learn how!

Safety of your child is our #1 priority:
