Starting on Wednesday, we will be doing a March Madness style attendance challenge! Classes will compete to have the fewest unexcused absences. Please do your best to have your students at school daily and send excuses if they are out. Excused absences do not count against the class.
We look forward to updating you on which classes advance to the next round weekly. Attendance matters!
