Regular Attendance Helps Children Succeed At School.
What is chronic absenteeism?
Chronic absenteeism is considered when a student is absent 18 or more days or one-tenth of the academic school year. At the Luce, our goal is that every child attends school every day.
Please see the attached attendance hand-out for ways to promote our attendance goal.

It's Almost Luce Carnival Time!!! (REPOST)
Hello Luce friends and family,
The annual Luce Carnival will be on Saturday, March 21st from 10 am-2 pm and is in need of your help.
VOLUNTEERS: This day is not possible without volunteers! We are asking, if you can, for one adult member from each family to work a two-hour shift during the Carnival. It takes a lot of people to make this day successful for the school and the kids. Please visit our online sign up for a time that may fit your busy schedule. https://tinyurl.com/ucpjfnz
CAKE & CANDY DONATIONS: As we do each year, we are asking each Luce family, if they can, to donate two cakes and two candy bars. We can’t run the cake & candy walks without them! A donation box for full-size candy bars has been placed in the Luce Lobby.
· Cakes can be dropped off before/after school on 3/20 & the morning of our event 3/21.
· Candy bars can be dropped off at any time!!
