Today's Attendance rate is 84.1 %
As of today, students enrolled at the beginning of the school year that have missed 8 or fewer days of school are helping us reach our goal of 85% (percentage of students not chronically absent). Thank you for making regular school attendance a priority! We love dancing our way out of the building on Fridays at dismissal when our overall chronic absenteeism rate is below 15%!
