Attendance Reminders
When children are at school on time, they are better prepared to learn. We appreciate you having your child at school no later than 7:45 a.m. each day. The building door (cafeteria side) opens as early as 7:00 a.m. Be mindful that excellent attendance positively affects student learning and is also an important factor in measuring school performance ratings each year. Please know that your ongoing partnership and participation contributes to the overall success of your child and our school.
7:00 am - Cafeteria doors open and breakfast begins
7:30 am - Grab and Go breakfast
7:40 - Huffman Hello
7:45 - Tardy bell rings and learning begins
It is vital for students to be in school. Please remember these STATE GUIDELINES:
