Attendance is extremely important for all students. We want all students to feel included and important to their learning community. We also don't want anyone to miss out on learning opportunities. Please ensure that your child arrives at school each day with time to unpack and get settled in their classroom for instruction to start at 8:00AM. Thank you for your help
