We are proud to announce that 97% of our students are attending school at least 90% of the time.

School attendance is a HUGE factor in success for our students. Nothing can replace the face-to-face instruction & learning opportunities students receive on a daily basis in the classroom.

If a student is absent, encourage them to communicate with teachers via Canvas message and work quickly to complete missing work.

Our schoolwide expectations are for students to be Respectful, Responsible & Safe!

We remind students of what these expectations look like in the hallway, bathroom, cafeteria, park, classrooms and more.

Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in some behaviors over the last few weeks. As behaviors arise, teachers will be calling to speak with parents about what happened & problem solve how to correct the behavior.

We understand that we work with middle schoolers every day & our goal is for students to learn from their mistakes (which they will make) and make better choices next time!

We appreciate your support in helping students learn how to be Respectful, Responsible and Safe!
