Attendance and Truancy Legally Required Steps

We want to make sure every student has the best chance to succeed, and that starts with regular attendance.

It's essential for all school staff to be aware of these requirements to ensure we are in compliance with state laws and to support our students and their families in a proactive and supportive manner.

Reminders

Office Reminders

Student drop off is 8:55 at the earliest. We do not have supervision prior to that. We have had a lot of students being dropped off and being unsafe. We will be calling all families who drop off their students too early to come pick them up until it is 8:55.

Please pick up students promptly at the end of the day. We have had a lot of students picked up late.

Lastly, please remember attendance is very important. Click here for our attendance awareness letter. If your student is going to be absent please let the office know. 360-473-4507.
