Attendance
Matters
Every Day Counts. Every Eagle Thrives.
Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in student success. Every school day provides opportunities to learn, build relationships, and participate in experiences that cannot be recreated outside the classroom. We’re here to partner with families to help every Eagle be present and ready to learn.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
