The Importance of Daily Attendance
• What would you do with $250,000?
• What would you do with $1,000,00?
• A high school graduate makes, on average, almost $250,000 more than a
dropout over a lifetime
• A college graduate makes, on average, $1,000,000 more than a high school
graduate over a lifetime.
• Missing even 2 days per month makes it much more difficult to graduate. In
fact, students who are chronically absent are 7 to 8 times more likely to drop
out.
• What things make it difficult for you to attend? What can you/we do to
overcome those difficulties?
Arrival Procedures
Each day students will be able to enter campus at 7:45 a.m. and have breakfast in the cafeteria. The passing bell will ring at 8:00 a.m. and students will have ten minutes to get to class. The final bell rings at 8:10 a.m. We recognize there are occasional emergencies, however we ask that students arriving late to school be kept to a minimum as tardy students disrupt the other student's learning and develop habits that can impact them for many years.
Dismissal Procedures
No students will be released from the main office between 2:00 pm-2:40 pm for safety reasons. We ask that you pick up your student prior to 2 pm if you have an appointment or any other reason. We recognize there are occasional emergencies, however we ask that students leaving early from school be kept to a minimum as students disrupt the other student's learning and develop habits that can impact them for many years.
