SPRING SHOWCASE

Attendance & Uniform Reminder

We encourage all families to review our attendance policies and ensure you are familiar with expectations and procedures as we approach the end of the school year.
Attendance = Success!

  • Doors open at 8:50 AM—students must be in class by 9:10 AM. Remember, 2 tardies = 1 absence, and excessive absences may result in loss of class credit.
  • As we near the end of the school year, it is especially important that students attend school every day and arrive on time. Every day of instruction matters.

With warmer weather approaching, we also want to remind all students to report to school in full uniform daily. Please make sure clothing remains appropriate and in line with school dress code expectations.
Stay focused, stay prepared, and make every day count. Thank you for your continued support!
