Attendance Matters
As a district, we expect students to maintain 95% attendance for the year. That equates to missing 9 full days throughout the year. If a student has 90% attendance, that equates to missing 18 full days. That would be the same as missing the ENTIRE month of February. We become concerned with attendance when it is frequent (90% or below), as it has a significant impact on your child's learning opportunities. Below you will find a handy picture to help when making that tough decision of if your child needs to stay home or go to school when complaining of not feeling well.
Spooktacular Skating Party
This event requires parental supervision, so please do not just drop your child off at Skateland.
We hope to see you all there!

Parent-Teacher Conferences
This is a great time to meet with your child's teacher to see how they are doing this year. This is an exceptionally important meeting, as it allows us to collaborate with you on your child. We know that we all have the same goal of helping to make your child successful and it is great to stay on the same page with you.
With conferences, please be mindful of the scheduled time, so that all families may be respected with the times they have scheduled.
