I have noticed that many students are consistently tardy or absent. I would like to remind you that the Michigan School Law states that it is the responsibility of parents to see that their children between the ages of 6 to 16 be in regular attendance at school. If there are problems in school or at home it is important that we discuss them so that we can attempt to resolve them. A child needs a good education to succeed in our society.

Your child will bring their report card home today. This is a great time to have a conversation with your student to celebrate their successes, as well as discuss strategies to encourage growth. We know our Huskies are working hard and hope you are as proud of them as we are!

We are aware of the potholes in the parking lot and will be fixing them as soon as the weather permits us to do so.
