Please expedite quickly so that all students can get to school on time. Safety is a priority, please be aware & be kind!
Attendance: Please ensure your child arrives at school on time every day. Tardiness is a disruption to the classroom and to learning.

If your child is absent, please report the reason for your child’s absence each day by emailing [email protected] by 9:00 am. Automated messages will be sent out on any unverified absences. Please verify your child's absence within 48 hours. You MUST respond to any absence message for your students’ absence to be cleared-up according to Ed. Code state guidelines.
