Monday, February 2nd, is Student Count Day, an important day for our school and district. Student attendance on this day directly impacts school funding, staffing, and resources that support our students throughout the year.
To encourage strong attendance, all junior high and high school students who arrive on time, remain in school for the full day, and are present for the entire instructional day (no check outs, no tardies) will receive one entry into a drawing for a chance to win one of six (6) $50 prepaid Visa gift cards.
✔️ Be on time
✔️ Stay all day
✔️ Be counted
Please help us make attendance count on this important day by ensuring students are present and ready to learn. Every student matters, and every day counts—especially on Student Count Day!
Thank you for your continued support of our school.
