Attendance
The biggest key to success is attendance. Please ensure that your child attends each and every school day unless he or she is ill. Time off for vacations or travelling sports teams are marked as unexcused absences. All work must be made up. Contact the school each time your child is absent, and provide advance notice to teachers whenever possible for unexcused absences. (Customize, as desired).
