📢 Important Attendance Update for Our Families!

We are updating how we track student attendance! Starting this school year, attendance will be recorded in minutes instead of days.

This change helps us more accurately measure instructional time and provides clearer tracking for partial-day absences, appointments, and tardies.

What You Need to Know:

Every Minute Counts: Attendance is tracked by exact class minutes rather than full or half days.

Keep Us Posted: Please continue calling the front office to report any tardies or absences as usual.

Check out the flyer below for full details and examples! Have questions? Reach out to our main office. 💬👇

Back to School Tip #3: Identify the non-verbal signs of stress.

Children and teens don't always know how to communicate what they're feeling; typically, they won't say "I'm overwhelmed." Stress often shows up physically or behaviorally.
