Parents and Guardians, attendance is extremely important everyday, but this month it is even more important. Teacher allocation is based off September numbers and enrollment. Please make sure your child is there everyday, all day, to earn tickets for out of uniform days, a drawing for school prizes, and the chance to win a class pizza party! Stay Dolphin Proud!

This September, we are celebrating Attendance Matters!

If students are on time and at school all day each week in September, they will receive an out of uniform day! They will receive a note that they earned the Out of Uniform Pass for that day for perfect attendance! Clothes must be age and school appropriate with tennis shoes.

Perfect Attendance Out of Uniform days are September 11th, 25th, and the 30th.
