What is the impact of poor school attendance?
Miss out on the social side of school life. Poor attendance can affect children's ability to make and keep friendships; a vital part of growing up. Setting good attendance patterns from an early age, from nursery through primary school will also help your child later on in their life.
The weather is getting nicer out and there are some classes that will be out taking walks. Please notify the office 30 minutes prior to you wanting them released in a timely matter. The phone lines are open 24/7 for you to call in and report an absence, early dismissal and/or a late arrival 360-662-4031. Remember, if you have a student that is involved in sports, please remember to get a doctor’s note so your student will be able to participate for that day.
