Attendance
Consistent attendance is vital to student academic performance. Missing class places stress on students who find themselves having to make up work while keeping up with current assignments. Please prioritize their attendance and be considerate of the entire class who is impacted every time the class is disrupted by a student arriving or leaving. We desire that all students receive the best education possible each and every day of the school year.
***IMPORTANT***
Parents may not excuse students for missing class because the student is "unprepared, needs to work on another class, or do volunteer work." This is considered an unexcused absence.
