We Love Seeing You at School!

Every day at school is a chance to learn new things, spend time with friends, and build great relationships with teachers and staff. We look forward to seeing your student each day and celebrating all the wonderful ways they grow and succeed!

Every Day Counts

Missing just 2 days a month adds up to nearly a month of school each year—so every day really matters! We love seeing your student here and supporting their growth and success.

Academic Impact

Research shows that 64% of students who miss 9 or fewer days in Kindergarten and 1st grade are proficient readers by 3rd grade—compared to only 17% of students who are chronically absent. By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes one of the strongest indicators of whether a student will graduate on time.

Bright Futures

Regular attendance—even starting in Kindergarten—is the strongest predictor of academic success and future graduation. Every day in school gives students the chance to stay engaged, build skills, and thrive academically.

Stay Healthy

If your student isn’t feeling well, give yourself and your family time to recover—rest is important! The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s How Sick is Too Sick guide can help you decide when to keep your child home. We want our students to feel supported, so if we can help in any way, please give us a call!
