IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION UPDATE
We are excited to share our new attendance email address with parents! If your child will be absent or late, please use this email address as a notification to the office so we can excuse your child. Please use the email listed below only (not our personal work email address), and the teacher email if you would like. This email group address will notify the appropriate office staff members to ensure we can excuse the child(ren) if one person is out at meetings (or for any other reason) and not checking their work email address for a day away.
You can email for your convenience, or if you prefer to leave a voicemail, you can call the 24-hour Attendance Line.
