SCHOOL ATTENDANCE   

  • Goal 96% – Year to date:  95.8%
  • We understand the holiday time brings many different family activities, trips and illnesses too.  Unfortunately, this has really impacted our overall school attendance rate with a decline these past few weeks. 
  • We hope everyone can regroup and recharge over the winter break so that we can see improvement when we return to school in January.  What a great new year’s resolution - to have students at school every day!
  • Official attendance time every day is 9:03 AM. 
 
 

LEMONADE WITH LACKEY

  • A Lemonade with Lackey meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 7, at 2:00 PM in the cafeteria.  We invite anyone to attend this informal parent information and Q&A session.
