Tips to help your child succeed in school: Addressing Attendance.

Attendance is very important for the overall success of a student's academic achievement. While we do understand some absences are unavoidable and necessary, attendance is very important. For students to succeed, they must be present. Please, see some statistics below on the impact of student's missing school.

All buses will be running regular routes tomorrow.
