AP Corner
- Parents enjoy the next 12 weeks because in 59 school days, the kids stay with you for 3 months!
- Playoff time is extremely exciting but with playoffs comes larger crowds of kids and adults to cheer on their home team. Show some class and realize that kids look up to adults. If an adult is yelling at or belittling an official, then you are setting a horrible example of sportsmanship.
- Girls basketball is legit this year! Don't miss out on witnessing history in the making!
- Huge shout out to our cheer squad this year for pumping up the students and traveling to all of the games to support all of our teams.
- Up with hope, down with dope. Give hugs, not drugs. Pass on grass. Have a great weekend.

Attendance Matters
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:15 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
For students who exceed our 96% goal, we are planning some more exciting rewards this year, such as a movie in the PAC, Kona Ice, and exam exemptions!
For students who miss school, here is some very important attendance information:
- 3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period - warning letter sent home, phone conference with at-risk coordinator and attendance improvement plan.
- 5 or more unexcused absences in a 6-week period - warning letter sent home, phone conference with administrator, attendance behavior plan reviewed.
- 7 or more unexcused absences in an 8-week period - warning letter sent home and Behavior Intervention Plan meeting called with the parents, student, and assistant principal.
- 10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period - truancy charges are filed. Parent, student and school administrator will be summoned to appear in truancy court.
Our campus goal is to reach 97% attendance each day.
Thanks for your support!
