We are so excited to welcome students back to school for the 2023-2024 school year!
All offices in the district will be closed in recognition of Labor Day. The first day of school for 1st to 12th graders is tomorrow, September 5.
September is Attendance Awareness Month. 📚👩🎓👨🎓 Attendance is crucial to academic success, not only for the absent student but for the entire classroom, team, or after-school club. 🚫👻 🔍👥 🚸📉 Students who miss just two days a month for any reason are more likely to struggle with reading and less likely to graduate. Let's work together to prioritize attendance and help all students succeed! 💪🏼🎓
