Attendance Matters.
Every Day Counts.
Instruction is a function of time. To deliver the precision our scholars deserve, they must be present. Consistent attendance is the bedrock of academic excellence.
Report an Absence
Please use the internal reporting tool to notify our Data Manager. This ensures all required documentation is routed for state compliance.
