Final Graduation Rehearsal & Senior Breakfast: June 1

Superintendent Rossetti shared a message earlier in the week after the tragedy of the school shooting in Texas. Events like this shake us all and affect each of us differently. Below, please see some helpful resources from Sandy Hook Promise that may be useful to you.

Attendance Reminders

First, we want to continue to stay home if sick. Any absence that is documented as quarantine or covid-related will be listed as "excused" in X2. None of these absences will count this year toward student attendance. Most of these absences have already been labeled as excused in X2. When you log into X2, click on "My Info" and "Attendance." Here, you will be able to see your attendance for the year. Excused absences are those that are related directly to the pandemic.

That being said, it is crucial that students are present in school whenever possible. Our attendance policy allows students 15 absences per year. At 16 absences, students are required to go to summer school. Extended absences of 2 consecutive days or more are "reduced" to count as one day upon receipt of a doctor's note. For example: a student who is out for five days with the flu will only be charged one absence upon receipt of a doctor's note. Extenuating circumstances, such as deaths in the family, may also be considered by the Academic Review Board at the end of the school year.

For complete information on the attendance policy, please visit the Parent-Student Handbook. You can find the attendance information beginning on page 12.

If you have questions regarding your attendance, please contact your guidance counselor.

At-Home Covid Testing

Many of you have successfully signed up for the voluntary at-home Covid testing program. You may continue to sign up anytime and pick up tests in the main office.

• When the at-home tests arrive, students will be notified that they are available for pickup in the Main Office.
• A letter detailing the plan is attached below.
• The optional opt-in form is found on Family ID: Click here.
