Parent(s)/Guardian(s) RE: Attendance Our instructional day begins at 8:45am.  The morning attendance is taken before 9am. If your child arrives into the classroom after 9am, they are marked absent on the attendance form and will need to go to the office for a late slip to avoid the automated system from calling home. Please connect with your child about being punctual to school as several students have a pattern of arriving to school late.
