Parents We Need Your Help-Attendance
- We need students at school everyday.
- ALL absences count against our school's accreditation rating, whether they are excused or unexcused.
- If more than 15% of students are chronically absent (10 or more absences) our schools accreditation rating could be at risk.
- Avoid vacations and trips during the school year.
- Do not let students stay home unless they are genuinely ill.
- We want to stay fully accredited!
