Reminders

Call to Greatness
Birthday Treats
Please remember when sending other treats for birthdays, items need to be prepackaged. Please notify your child's teacher about treats. :)
Absences
- Please remember to contact the attendance secretary if your child will be absent. A note from home is required for an absence to be considered "excused."
- In the event your child misses three or more consecutive days, a doctor's note is required upon returning to school.
- Students can access skill practice in Schoology while they are at home if they are able. Any missed assignments will be made up upon their return.
