Attendance Update from the MSD

Changes in Attendance:

* Absences must be excused within 3 days of the absence.
Please call our Attendance Coordinator:  Cori Orozco 360-965-0503
* Family vacations are no longer excused absences.
* Our school wide goal for attendance is to have every student absent no more than 10 days in the school year.  There is significant research to support the importance of daily attendance.  Web addresses are attached at the bottom of this segment.
* We will have a celebration for the students who have less than 5 absences at the end of first semester and again in the last week of school.
* Truancy boards could be required for students who have 10 or more absences at any point in the school year.
