Every missed school day is a missed opportunity!
- Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Instruction 

When a student misses a school day, they miss out on a chance to learn and grow.
Even a single absence can make catching up a challenge, affecting their academic journey."

Parents, we all dream of our children succeeding, but the impact of absenteeism can sometimes be underestimated.
We hope you partner with us this year and guide your student(s) in cultivating positive habits for excellent attendance.
Let's make every school day count!
