Student Success Tips
Student Attendance
Student Attendance
Students learn best when they are at school. Good attendance and punctuality are important habits that start developing in kindergarten. Please help your child understand the importance of school by minimizing the amount of time they are absent. Please help them in every way possible so they can be at school, on time, every day.

- Read directions carefully.
- Focus on quality work.
- Have parents or older siblings check work after it is completed.

Addressing a Concern
Addressing a Concern
If you should have a concern regarding your child’s performance, or a specific event which occurred at school:
- Make an appointment with the teacher, as he/she has the most direct contact with your child and is probably the person most aware of the situation that concerns you.
- If it is not resolved with the teacher, make an appointment to talk to the vice-principal or principal.
- If you have a question or concern related to school or district policies, please call the office. Your call will be returned as soon as possible, generally within 24 hours.
