Attendance Matters

Did you know that missing just two days a month can add up to 18 days a year—almost an entire month of learning lost? Consistent attendance is one of the biggest predictors of student success.

As you plan doctor appointments, family trips, or other events, keep our Fall 2025 “No School” days in mind:

Sept. 1, 25, 26

Oct. 13–17

Nov. 7, 24–28

Dec. 18 (Early Release), 19, 22–31

Help your student stay on track—every day counts!

Student ID Badges

All students are required to wear their badge daily.

Badges are also required for riding the bus, purchasing breakfast/lunch, picking up a confiscated dress code item or cell phone.

The first badge is provided at no cost.

Replacement badges are $5 and can be purchased with cash before or after school.

Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe and organized!
