On Tuesday, October 1st, the Positive Behavior Team surprised 74% of our student population with an "Out of the Blue" for great attendance. These students earned a can of pop because they had ZERO unexcused absences or tardies. Please go to the pictures tab to view more pictures from this special event.
These incredible students inspired us to set a school-wide goal of 80% of our student population having ZERO unexcused absences or tardies. Once we meet our goal, we will have a school-wide celebration to reward their success.
Please support your child in accomplishing this goal. It is important to make sure that your child is on time and ready to learn everyday. When students miss school, they miss out on valuable learning experiences. Please read below to learn more about excused and unexcused absences.
EXCUSED ABSENCES:
- Illness of the student (however, a student reported absent and seen about the community, after being reported sick, may be declared unexcused.)
- Illness or death in the students family
- Early dismissal for medical appointments

- Observance of a religious holiday
- Situations that cause reasonable concern to the parent(s) for the safety or health of the student
- Other situations beyond the control of the student as approved by the Board of Education or by the building principal

- Leaving school without permission from any school official
