Attendance Matters!

Please make every effort to have your child at school
EVERY day and ALL day.

School Hours

School hours are from 7:35 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. Most Wednesdays are early release at 2:10 p.m. The building opens at 7:00 a.m. for breakfast.

How much school is your child missing?

  • 10 minutes late every day = 30 hours / year
  • Early release every Friday = approximately 120 hours / year
  • Absent 1 day per week = 275 hours / year

Attendance Impacts High Stakes Testing

Research shows that children who are in school most of the time do better on state tests. Studies also show that kids who are absent more often score lower on state tests.

Is Your Child TOO Sick for School?

  • COVID: loss of taste/smell, shortness of breath, cough, fever
  • CLOSE CONTACT: with confirmed COVID case
  • FEVER: a temperature of 100.4 or higher
  • VOMITING or DIARRHEA: must be free from both for 24 hours
