December Attendance
Wow! Time flies! We've already completed half of the school year with 90 days! Congratulations to students who have missed fewer than 4 days – that’s less than 5% of the school year! You're setting yourself up for success! Positive attendance builds strong academic foundations, boosts confidence, and develops valuable habits that will benefit you throughout life.
Just a reminder that permission forms and the $5 fee must be turned in by Friday November 21 for the Turkey Trot taking place on Monday November 24. No students will be allowed to stay if they have not turned in either. Also, attached you will find concession prices. We suggest that you put their concession money in an envelope labeled "concession money" on Monday morning and have them keep it in their backpack.
DO NOT SEND CONCESSION MONEY BEFORE MONDAY.
Please make plans to join us.
