Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic growth and overall success. The Board of School Trustees and Indiana Department of Education emphasize the importance of being present in the classroom, as it allows students to fully engage in instruction, participate in class discussions, and benefit from the rich learning environment our teachers create. In addition, the State of Indiana uses attendance data to evaluate schools and performance. We readily recognize that some absences are unavoidable when illness or urgent family needs arise. Our team is always understanding and supportive of such situations or needs.
When students are consistently present, they are better equipped to excel academically and socially. We encourage all families to prioritize regular on-time arrival/attendance and schedule vacations during school breaks. This approach ensures your child won't miss out on essential learning opportunities that occur each day.
If your child comes to school via car in the morning, the car line starts dismissing at 7:45a and is efficient! We expect our students to be in their seats ready to learn no later 8:00a! If your child arrives at 8:00a or after, you need to come in with your student to sign them in.
Thank you for your commitment to your child’s education and for helping us foster a community of learners who are present, engaged, and ready to succeed!
