Parents, in addition to report cards coming home with students today, you will notice an important letter regarding school attendance (see attached image of letter). This letter includes the total number of absences your child has accumulated so far this school year. Remember, students who accumulate 18 absences (regardless of excuse) will be flagged as "chronically absent." It is imperative that we do our best to avoid accumulating 18 absences this school year. If you have any questions regarding absences, please reach out to the school. Thank you for helping us ensure our students reach their full academic potential!
