Regular attendance is often linked to academic success. Students who attend classes regularly are more likely to grasp and retain course material. Attendance is essential for participating in class discussions, group activities, and other collaborative learning experiences. Doctor's notes play a vital role in excused absences so if you go to the doctor or dentist, please provide the note to the school the following day.
Picture Day is November 29th. This will be for all picture retakes as well as for any new students!!
