ATTENDANCE COUNTS!
School Every Day!

Academic success begins with something very simple and easy to do...COMING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY!

Children who attend school EVERY DAY:
get better grades, are successful in middle school and high school, are more likely to go to college, hold higher paying jobs as adults.

Children who are often absent from school: poor academic performance, never graduate high school, 79% of NYC children in the juvenile justice system were chronically absent prior to their arrest.

Attention Parents
 
Please be advised that school policy states, if a student forgets an item at home and a parent brings that item to school, the student will not receive the item (with the exception of medication) until their lunch period. No items will be accepted after lunch.
 
Our intention is to maximize instructional time inside our classrooms by eliminating unnecessary disruptions. We are confident that this procedure helps us to do just that. As always we would like to thank you for your support and cooperation on this matter.
