September is National School Attendance Awareness Month
Building good daily attendance habits early can help to set students up for academic success, social confidence, and lasting friendships. When kids show up, they thrive. Every day in the classroom counts!
If your family ever needs support or resources to help overcome obstacles to regular attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your school attendance designee.
We have an Action Plan for School Absences!
Absences happen. When they do, be sure to turn in an excuse.
Parents may provide up to 5 parent-written excuses per semester. If a student is ill for multiple consecutive days, the entire period should be counted as one single excuse. Three or more consecutive days absent requires a medical excuse from a doctor.

Important Law Regarding Marijuana in Schools
Under a new Louisiana law, possessing or using marijuana or THC vape pens on school property, buses, or within 2,000 feet of a school is now a felony punishable by up to a year in prison. Because these severe criminal charges are entirely separate from school suspension or expulsion, parents are strongly encouraged to talk with their children to help them avoid life-altering legal consequences.
