Attendance Matters
It is so very important that our students are at school each day unless they are sick. (You can see the charts below to know when your child should stay home.) Even a day here and there adds up!
When a Child Should Stay Home
We definitely want to have our students here with us at school, so if they have been ill and their symptoms are improving and they do not have the items listed below, please get them back to school. Here are some guidelines for when to keep your child home.
