2020-2021 Updated Calendar 

Please remember to report your child's attendance ON VIRTUAL Day's  through the Parent Portal.  If you forget to report attendance for the current day, you can call the main office and it can be adjusted.  If attendance is not reported, it will be recorded as a marked absence for your child. Also, please be sure that your child logs into their Special's Class in the afternoon as it is a continuous part of the school day.

Lastly, please be sure to update your contact information on Realtime including the photo permission form as well as the military connection form. All of these items can be located in the parent portal under parent questions.

Thank you!.
