attend today, and win tomorrow

We want your child to have the best chance possible of academic success. Research continues to reinforce the importance of establishing good attendance habits. Missing even two days per month means a student is chronically absent, and will likely have difficulty performing at grade level for many years to come. In Jr. High, chronic absenteeism is one of the leading indicators of whether or not a student will reach graduation. We understand that there are many times absences are unavoidable and may be excused, but whether they're excused or not, all absences have the same negative effects on academic performance. If your child has to miss school for any reason, encourage them to speak with their teachers about how they can make up the work so they won't fall behind. A student has one day for every day of excused absence to complete missed work. Every month we will be having a perfect attendance drawing and will award a student in each grade level with movie tickets. At the end of the year, every student who has at least one month of perfect attendance will be entered into a drawing for a family pack of theme park tickets. We also celebrate our students and classes every week who are all THAT, meaning everyone in their class has perfect attendance, no tardies, and all their work turned in on time.
