📚⏰ Attendance Matters! ⏰📚

Every minute counts when it comes to learning. Did you know that being just 10 minutes late each day adds up to over 6 days of learning lost across a school year? That’s a big impact on students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Regular attendance helps students stay connected, confident, and successful. We encourage families to partner with us in making attendance a priority and to communicate with the school anytime concerns arise.

📞 Need to report an absence or have questions about attendance?
Please be sure to follow our attendance procedures and reach out if your family needs support—we’re here to help.

Together, we can set students up for success by making every day count!
