We ask that students have their student ID with them upon entering the school. This helps us identify students, know who is in our larger building, and assists in getting everyone checked in quickly and accurately

Consistent Attendance and Credit Loss Letters

Consistent attendance is fundamental for success in high school. Our attendance policy is designed to support students attending school regularly. This week and next, students who exceeded the maximum allowed absences for the first quarter of the year will receive a Credit Loss Notification email listing the courses affected. We will work with all students to support them in their engagement in learning. Students may contact their counselor or assistant principal with any questions.
