RISE Above Parent - We are ready for you!
Our RISE Above program encourages parent involvement in our school! Parents can assist in several areas: hallways, cafeteria, morning greeters, etc. Please send an email to Melissa Ward for more information! Background checks are required.
Communication about Grades
If a student's grade falls below 70 at progress report time, teachers will contact you. If you have questions or concerns about your child's grade, please reach out to their teacher. If you don't hear back from a teacher, let an administrator know and we can help get you connected.
Tutorials - Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Attendance Matters!
Increasing student attendance is one of our big goals for the year. We will have 9 week incentives, by grade level, that are going to be tied to good attendance. Please encourage your student to come to school every day!
*Students who are more than 10 minutes late to class will be counted absent.
*Make-up time will be required for those not in attendance for at least 90% of the day.
*Early release cut off is 2:40 pm
*Make-up hours will be required for those who miss over 10% of a class
Absence notes can be turned into the front office or submitted electronically using Skyward Family Access. See below for an easy "how to."
