📣 Attendance Matters – We Need Your Support!

Last year, we did not meet our attendance goal, and we are asking for your help this year.

Please ensure your scholar attends school every instructional day and avoid scheduling unnecessary absences. Every day of learning makes a difference in student success.

📅 Refer to the 2026-2027 academic calendar for planned holidays and breaks.

Thank you for partnering with us to help our scholars stay on track and reach their full potential! 🙌
