Attendance
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Consistent school attendance, 95% or more, is one of the strongest predictors of academic and life success. When students attend school regularly, they stay connected to their peers, build strong relationships with trusted adults, and engage in the daily learning activities that build skills and confidence over time.
When an absence is unavoidable, notify the school before 9:00 am on the day of the absence.
Regular attendance is an important piece of succeeding in school.
