  Attendance Awareness: The Key to Student Success! We're excited to share with you informative infographics that break down the various attendance notices you might receive from our school and/or district and the various terms used in them. No more deciphering hieroglyphics on these notices! Understanding terms like "Truancy," "Unexcused Absences," and "SART" can make your life a whole lot easier. These infographics are your go-to guides, and the notices help you stay informed and on top of your child's school attendance.
