Important Information and Events Coming Up Next Week!
ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT!
Dear Carson Families,
The state of California gives Carson Elementary $40.88 each day a student attends school. Those funds pay for staff and the overall functioning of Carson. We are asking the Carson Community to push for 100% school attendance. Why? Last year, Carson Elementary lost $144,000 from student absences and as a result, we lost two teachers.
Friends, let us push for 100% school attendance and earn needed resources for our Carson students. We do not want to lose another teacher nor staff member. Email Counselor Ballard at cballard@sandi.net with attendance questions.
Mr. Ballard
