Attendance

Help your child succeed in school and in life by getting them to school every day.  A missed absence, for any reason and for any amount of time, is a missed opportunity for learning.

Attendance Basics

If your child will not be in school, for any reason, you must call the school office every day your child is out. Please call 206.631.4300.
