Attendance and Timing Reminders

Our School Day Begins promptly at 8:00

If your students do not take the school bus, please drop them off no earlier than 7:30 and no later than 8:00am. Students will go directly to homeroom where breakfast is provided. 

Our day dismisses at 2:36 with buses leaving first and then commuters, walkers or students being picked up after the bus lane has cleared.

 

Be Here

Did you know that if your student misses only 2 days a month they are considered chronically absent?

Maintaining consistent attendance can be tough. Here are three tips that may make it easier: 1. Routines. Having a clearly defined regimen makes keeping to a schedule a lot easier for young people and adults alike. 2. Sleep. Getting plenty of rest sets you up for a great morning. Routines can be helpful for going to sleep too, and keeping screens charging in another room is another great strategy. 3. Checklists. Anything that helps a student visualize all the steps they'll need to take to accomplish a task will benefit their ability to manage time. We hope you find these helpful!
