Checking in your child's attendance

Now that we are back in the building in a hybrid model for our Pre-K-5th grade students, it is easy to forget to check your child in for attendance on the work from home days.

Make it a daily ritual with your child, of checking in thier attendance on either the parent portal or the student portal to make sure your child is getting credit for completing thier at home assignments.

Wednesday mornings will be a Zoom morning meeting for all students with thier teacher, make sure to review your child's Google Classroom to find the time for thier class.

Let's keep our attendance going strong!!
