Why Attendance Matters

  • Every Day Counts! Whether excused or unexcused, absences mean missed classroom and valuable learning opportunities.
  • Missing just 1 day every 2 weeks can add up to 18 days in a year, which adds up quickly!
  • Students who are absent an average of 15 days per year miss a whole year's worth of school before their senior year.
  • Each day a student misses puts them 2 days behind their classmates, making it harder to catch up.
  • Students with good attendance often enjoy school more, building strong connections and a love of learning.

Attendance Guidelines

  • Regular attendance is key to your child’s success. Our attendance clerk records the official attendance time for elementary students at 10 AM and secondary students at 10:30 AM. 
  • Whenever possible, please try to schedule appointments after the official attendance time to ensure your child doesn't miss out on important learning.
  • If your child has been to the doctor, please remember to submit their excuse note when they return to school. This helps us keep track of their attendance accurately.
  • If your child needs to miss an entire day, they will be marked as absent. We hope to see them back soon!
  • If there are any challenges preventing your child from attending school, please don't hesitate to reach out to your campus. We're here to support you and your student.
