Planning a Family Trip for the Holidays?

We recognize the holidays are an important time for family near & far, and the cost of tickets influence when you want to travel. As you think about arrangements, we want to stress the importance of sending your child to school every day. Please keep in mind the costs of your children’s education if they miss too much school - and the message you will be sending about the importance of attendance. Even if you get a homework packet from the teacher, it doesn’t make up for the interaction and learning that happens in the classroom. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning right up until vacation starts, and the first day back. Please help us convey the message of the importance of regular attendance.

October 18th is "Pink Out Day"
