Consistent attendance helps students strengthen key skills in reading, writing, and math, while also allowing them to collaborate with classmates and create meaningful, lifelong friendships. Being together supports social growth and fosters a sense of belonging that enhances every learning experience.

The following classes have had 95% or better attendance this week:
