Attendance is WILDLY IMPORTANT!
As we embark on our new school year with wildly important goals ( WIGS) set, we encourage all learners to understand that attendance is a lead measure in reaching success. Start off in the right direction and attend school every day ( and on time!).
We look forward to each and every learner achieving their goals.
