Attendance Matters!
Winter weather and children’s illnesses can affect school attendance this time of year. Therefore, if your child is sick and unable to attend school for more than three days, please call the school and provide a medical note. Otherwise, ensuring your child attends school daily is imperative to prevent academic gaps.
Thanks!
