Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Even as kids grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students access learning opportunities and understand why attendance is so important for success in school. Families can use these strategies to help kids build a habit of good attendance. NAESP

Parents/Guardians of Pick-up Students,
Please have your pick-up tags (with students names) visible for staff that are calling names and staff that are loading students. The more visible these tags are, the quicker and safer we can complete dismissal.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Parents/Guardians: Be sure to include the card provided by the school in your window or on your dash when picking up your child. If you didn't see a card last night, please check your child's folder again this weekend. Thank you for your cooperation.
