A few items of importance...
Car Tags - I am working to get all the car tags distributed. I have some additional tags being delivered so please be patient.
Lunch numbers - We want students to learn their lunch numbers in order to pay for their lunches. It's been two years since we've had to memorize them so we need a lot of refreshing and practice. We are currently a laminated card with a bar code but it's cumbersome and inefficient. Any help you can provide at home would be great!
Curriculum Night - August 23, 2022 from 5:00-6:30 PM (2 sessions - see flyer below)
United Parent Council - August 24, 2022 from 9-12PM.

Communication with Teachers
Attendance/C.U.T.S. Program
Attendance is very important to your child's educational success. Please review our absenteeism program that the district has adopted.
The state law states that students have 180 days of school and they should not be absent more than 10% of the year. Essentially, you have 18 days of absences by law. The office staff will start reaching out to parents once your child reaches 10 absences in the system. Please communicate when your child will be absent and inform Nurse Stephanie of any chronic illnesses.
