Parents,

We know there has been sickness going around and you may have forgotten to send in the excuses needed for your child.

Attendance letters are sent home every Thursday in your child’s communication folder. If you receive one of these letters, please check your child’s parent portal account to see the dates needing an excuse and send in the needed excuse, either medical or parental the next day.

Once a student has 5 or more unverified or 3 scattered unverified, they are considered truant which will require an Attendance Intervention Plan meeting. It could also be referred to the Family Court System.

Please send any needed excuses for your child to clear their attendance.

Thank you – Ann Jungclaus, Attendance Secretary

A fundraiser is going on right now to raise money for future Special Olympics events in our district. If you would like to order a Special Olympics t-shirt to support this worthy cause, please ask your child’s teacher for an order form. The cost is $10 per shirt.
