Make Every Day Count!
Our students' attendance matters every day. This year, the MS Department of Education requires that students are present for 63% of the instructional day (this excludes recess, lunch and breaks).
We know that sometimes early checkouts are necessary. Checkout times vary according to each school's unique schedule.
So that your student is considered "present" for the day, please check out your child AFTER 1:00.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Parents - We need your feedback on how you felt about our Back-To-School process and activities. Click on the link to take a brief survey.
