March Attendance Challenge

During the month of March, each grade will compete to improve their attendance. The grade with the most improved attendance will earn points toward the Battle of the Bobcats!
How it works:

• 📅 Attendance is tracked all month long
• 📈 Improvement matters most—not just perfect scores
• 🏆 The winning team earns bonus Battle of the Bobcats points

There will be weekly updates and incentives throughout the month. Every day counts. Be here, be ready, and help your team climb to victory!

Friendly Drop off/Pick up Reminder

We are asking for your help to ensure the safety of students as well as to provide the most efficient drop off and pick up procedures. 

We have parents parking on the side of the road on 8000 S. waiting to pick up students. This creates unnecessary congestion and increases the potential for accidents as well. If you are waiting for a student, please pull into the parking lot and wait for your student there. 

The north side of the building past the Union Park parking lot is for busses ONLY. We have had multiple near misses as busses are moving through the narrow driveway and drivers are backing out in front of busses. Please do not use the north side bus area for student drop off or pickup.

Let’s work together to keep our students safe!
