Attendance Matters
Student attendance counts every day and during FTE and Spirit Week this is especially true. We are striving for 100% attendance for all students during the week of Monday February 4 - Friday February 8.
Student attendance this week is key to funding for our school. It means for each student missing school all or most of the week, our school will lose between about $4,000 and $20,000 in state funding. With this in mind, there is one thing we can all do to help ensure that our school receives all of our entitled state funding – please send your child to school at least 4 out of 5 days during FTE and Spirit Week.
Additionally, if your child rides the school bus to and/or from school, we ask that you have them ride the bus during this week as school funding is impacted by student transportation as well.

Students are encouraged to collect 'Pennies For Patients' from Monday February 4 until Friday February 15.
Thank you for being part of our Hero Squad.



Students can submit 10 Box Tops attached to the February Box Tops Collection sheet by Friday February 8, in order to be eligible for a dress down day Thursday February 13.
