Attendance
At EBCA, we strive to promote perfect attendance. It is important for students to attend school on time, daily. The flag salute on the blacktop is at 7:50 AM. One of the best lifelong habits you can teach your child is to be on time.
Every Friday, the classes with the highest attendance rates are awarded a trophy to display in their classes. Additionally, prizes are raffled to students who have maintained perfect attendance throughout the week.
If you are late, it is hard to be great!
Don't Be Afraid to Be Great!
