Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we continue through the academic year, I wanted to take a moment to emphasize the importance of regular school attendance for your child's success.

Each school day is an opportunity for your child to learn and grow. Regular attendance not only reinforces what has been taught in previous lessons but also prepares students for future learning. Missing school can lead to significant gaps in knowledge, making it difficult for students to keep up with their learning.

This message is a reminder that students are allowed 10 absences for the school year. This includes absences that are excused, excused with a parent note, and unexcused absences combined. If a student has over 10 of these combined absences then they may be in jeopardy of not passing the class and will have to attend summer school. Having said this, please review your student’s attendance. Please submit any medical notes if your student’s attendance is approaching the 10 allotted absences. Medical notes from a certified medical practitioner will not count against your student’s 10 allotted absences.

We appreciate your support. - Alison Thornley
