SY 25-26 Attendance Goal
This year, we will focus on ensuring that students are in school daily and on time to ensure optimal
teaching and learning. Students cannot learn, retain learning, or build on learning when absent.
Therefore, we need students to be present every day, all day. Our school attendance goal is
92%. We cannot meet this goal without your support. If your scholar needs to be absent due to any of the following reasons, please contact Ms. Jordan with the reason for absence and send a reason for absence note upon the student’s return to school.
● Illness
● Family Emergency
● Death in Immediate Family
● Observance of Religious Holiday
● Safety/Health Concerns

students, increase school pride, focus on scholarship, and eliminate class barriers that develop when some students cannot afford expensive name-brand clothing.
