Congratulations to our Top 3 Classes for October Attendance!

We’re proud to recognize Mrs. Parkinson's, Mrs. Haire’s, and Mrs. Slaughter’s classes for achieving the highest attendance rates in October.

Great job demonstrating what it means to “Strive for 95%!”

Check out last week's building attendance. Our overall attendance was 91.84%.

A new month means a fresh start! We need your help reaching our district attendance goal. We’ve fallen a bit short so far, but together we can turn it around!

With only 13 school days in November, let's make every day count — 100% attendance, bell to bell, for every Panther. Your support makes all the difference!

Reminder: No school Monday or Tuesday.

🚗⏰ Don’t be tardy on Wednesday, Panthers or you’ll miss Ms. Brittany’s crosswalk costume! 🦺
