Attendance is Important
Just a quick note about the importance of attendance and students being in class everyday. I know there are lots of sicknesses going around and we want everyone to be healthy, that is most important. Lots of students have been absent and with our rigorous daily schedule I don't want anyone to fall behind. I would ask that if your child was absent that they come and see me before school on the day of their return to pick up anything they missed or complete any work.
Thank you!
