Children who are chronically absent in preschool and kindergarten are five times more likely to miss too much school in later years.
A huge thank you to our amazing families—as of 9/25/26, our district attendance rate is over 96%!
Let's keep building great habits together and strive for fewer than five absences. For support and family resources, visit fewerthan5.com.
As we work to engage and partner with you, here are three quick ways to stay connected to your student's learning:
💡 Spark Conversations at Home with Clarity Questions
Our teachers are focusing on learning clarity. Ask your student these three questions to spark great conversations about their day:
What are you learning?
Why are you learning it?
How will you know you learned it?
📊 Track Progress on PowerSchool
Log into PowerSchool regularly to monitor your student's academic progress, grades, and attendance. (Contact the main office if you need login assistance.)
