Perfect Attendance Students in grades 4-5 will be recognized for perfect attendance each nine weeks and for the school year. In order to be eligible for perfect attendance, a student must be present from 7:45am- 3:05pm each school day in a nine-week period. Students who are tardy or who leave early will not be eligible for recognition for perfect attendance, unless a doctor’s note is provided excusing the early dismissal from school. Students who have earned perfect attendance for all four quarters will earn All-Year Perfect Attendance recognition.
