Attendance-our goal is 96.4%. Please send your child to school if they are not ill. Our students are working towards perfect attendance and free dress for their grade-level. Each day the goal is met, students receive a letter towards the phrase "SADDLE UP". Once they complete the phrase, the grade-level will receive a week of free dress.
