Finally, our attendance goal for this semester was to have a 95% attendance rate for our students. We are currently sitting around 93% for the semester and close to 94% for the month of March. As we close out the end of the school year, please keep this in mind. Attendance plays a vital role in learning and we want to have every minute we can with our students.
