Attendance Updates

As we approach the last few months of the school year we know some of you will receive the district 12 day cumulative absences letter. We want to acknowledge that it has been a year with continued challenges around child and family illnesses. In addition, many face challenges in regard to receiving health care. If you are unable to receive health care for illness or are unable to get documentation, please just call and let our health office know at 763-504-7605. If your child(ren) is going to be absent from school, please call our attendance line at 763-504-7610.

 

We know that missing school, for any reason, can impact a child's academic achievement therefore, it is our goal to partner with you so that your child(ren) get the most out of their learning opportunities throughout the school year.

 

As conferences come up on the 14th, 16th and 21st of March we encourage all families to sign up for a conference with their child(ren)'s teachers; however, we believe it is especially important for those that have missed 12 or more school days this year to talk about how those missed days may be impacting your child's progress at school and make a plan to support your child(ren). 

Attendance Matters

When your student is not at school, please make sure you are calling the attendance line.  We care about your student!
