As always, thank you for your continued support!
Generals Salute,

Counselor's Corner
Attendance- Please be reminded to send in attendance/doctors notes when your child is absent or tardy.
Students who are on time to school and actively engaged in instructional activities greatly increase their knowledge, skills, and learning in general. It is my belief that students who are consistently tardy or absent miss out on teacher directions for morning activities, school wide morning announcements, and overall, lose valuable instructional time. Instructional time is needed to acquire skills in reading, math, spelling, writing, social studies, or science.

We encourage you to sign up for a day or time that is convenient for you - https://bit.ly/Feb2024Volunteers
