The first week of our March Madness Attendance initiative is complete! Below, please see the homerooms that advanced to Round 2. There will be two overall classes that win a breakfast in April. Average weekly attendance will be calculated for each homeroom and the highest attendance rate for that homeroom will move on to the next round. Please check social media for weekly results. Also, each student showing perfect attendance for the month will have a chance to win fun prizes.
