A Note About Attendance
Since illnesses are easily spread throughout schools and students are required to be out when presenting symptoms, please make every effort to have your child attend regularly and on time to not miss out on important instructional time.
Schools are required by the state of Michigan to record and report attendance issues. Teachers will reach out with any initial concerns over student attendance, followed by documentation from the office. Please contact teachers/the office/administration with any questions or concerns.
