Happy Thursday to All of You!
Parent Conferences
We had two successful parent conference days.
Thank you to the staff for their efforts the past two days and to the parents for coming out. If you were unable to make conferences please continue to check Ed-line. If you would like a meeting with a teacher or teachers please call the counseling office or email the teachers directly.
Absences
Please be cognizant that we are extremely vigilant in regards to attendance. The following is the list of reasons the state provides as excusable absences:
-Student illness
-Illness of an immediate family member
-Emergency
-Doctor/Dental Appointment
-Death of an immediate family member
-Court summons
-Satisfactory arrangements, made in advance with the school for other reasons
Last year our attendance was close to 95%. We are looking to surpass this percentage this year. Our attendance for the month of October was 96%. Great job!
Parent Volunteers
