Attendance
Every school day is important. Arriving at school on time supports our students’ development of healthy, positive school habits. It also assists students in maintaining their established routines, supporting their regulation. Students arriving to school late disrupts their learning and the learning of others. If your family is experiencing a difficulty that is impacting student attendance, please reach out to me for support.
Student’s IEP service times are 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.
All parents must have a dismissal tag to retrieve their student in the car pick-up line and off the bus. This can be a paper tag or a tag pulled up in the Parent Backpack. If these are not available, a parent or authorized adult must bring a photo ID to the front office to retrieve the student.
