"We all realize the importance of regular attendance to school. Regular and on time attendance to school helps keep students active in their school and in their classrooms. It helps foster continuous learning and builds a sense of responsibility within students. For younger students regular attendance helps keep them in a regular routine and allows for the foundation of a solid education. "For older students regular attendance helps prepare them for the greater responsibility that comes with college and career opportunities. Regular and on time attendance also shows a commitment to sticking to a task and instilling pride in a job accomplished. "Good attendance to school not only helps students academically but builds responsibility for years to come. Preparing students to handle what life sends their way is a big part of our mission. "Learning for a Lifetime is our district motto and teaching kids to be on time, punctual and regular in attendance are all part of the big picture."
