Please have your child here by this time. Tardiness is an unnecessary interruption in the school program. Concerted effort by parents and students to prevent tardiness is appreciated.
Attendance is important to the academic growth of each student.
Students are encouraged to be at school every day. As of the school year 1992-1993, a student must be in school for at least three hours to be counted present for the school day. After five days excused by a parent note, a letter will be sent explaining that only medical excuses will be accepted for further absences. Students who are absent 15 days or more will be candidates for retention . If it is necessary to get your child at school during the day, send a note of explanation to the teacher that morning, and on arriving come by the office and sign out the student.
