Attendance Matters: For the last three years, we have been holding trimester challenges for our students in order to encourage them to make improvements and excel in various areas of school.

Students who achieve this, will get to watch a movie and will be served snacks on November 14th. Please continue to get your students to school on time each day and encourage them to get to all of their classes on time.
