Attendance Challenge
We will have a third quarter perfect attendance competition beginning January 19, 2016- March 11, 2016. Those students with perfect attendance will be eligible to win a Kindle Fire.
At the end of the school year, those students with perfect attendance for the entire school year will be eligible to win a laptop.
Perfect attendance means the student is present 100% of the time- no early dismissals, no late arrivals, and absences for any reason.
