Keeping the Crew up to Date! Volume 2 Issue 28 - 3/26/23
Greetings Clipper Nation!
As we approach the end of the third term (April 5th), we are noticing more latenesses to school and absences. In order to help students be more successful academically, students need to be in the classroom learning. The more time you miss from the class, the more difficult it can be to keep up. Please encourage your student to be on time and in attendance every day.
If your student has missed more than five unexcused days this term, please have them contact their administrator for attendance recovery. Without attendance recovery, the student will fail their classes.
On April 4th, during Flex, the entire school will practice a "Safe in Place" status and a "Lockdown" status. Again, this will be a practice. Attached to the message are the terms we use as it relates to school safety (Avoid, Deny, Defend) and what should take place during the "Safe in Place" and "Lockdown" status.
