Did you know that missing just two days a month means a student is chronically absent? Excused and unexcused absences mean lost learning in the classroom and have a negative impact on student achievement. Students who average 15 or more absences a year miss a year's worth of school before their senior year. Making school attendance a priority now helps create healthy habits that benefit a student in middle and high school and beyond.

If your child has been absent 5 or more times, you should have received a letter in the mail. You receive an additional letter if your student is absent 10 or more times. If absences continue beyond 10 days, you will be invited to a School Attendance Review Team (SART) meeting. During this meeting, the student, parents, Dr. Barry, and Ms. Ozgur will discuss attendance and make a plan to help get your child to school daily. We understand that absences due to illness will occur, but we appreciate your effort in keeping absences to a minimum. Thank you!
