Attendance Update
During the month of December our student attendance rate was 93.6%. Our January attendance is much proved so far at 96.1%. Thank you for all that you do to ensure that students are healthy and attend school regularly. Remember that every school day counts in a child's academic life... a missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn!
