Attendance Matters

Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your child's academic success. Arriving at school on time each day helps students build positive routines, stay connected with classroom learning, and make the most of every instructional opportunity.

Whenever possible, please schedule appointments outside of school hours or on days when school is not in session. Your partnership in making attendance a priority is greatly appreciated.

Transportation Changes

If your child's dismissal plans change, please notify your child's teacher or contact the school office before 2:30 p.m. This helps us ensure every student gets home safely.
