A note from our principal...
Dear Families,
Attendance is so important in helping your child be successful. We do realize that there are times when students are not feeling well or cannot make it to school. Please make sure you are calling the school, sending an email or writing a note when your child is absent. We keep track of excused and unexcused absences.

Sick Students at School
If students show any of the symptoms of Covid-19, we will be calling you to pick them up. In the past, we may have let them rest or tried other remedies to see if things improved. We can no longer do that.
Please have a plan in place to ensure that your child can be picked up within 30 minutes if the school calls. This will help keep all of our students and staff members safe.
Please use the daily health screener for students. If your child has any symptoms or does not feel well, please DO NOT send them to school.
