Attendance

Attendance Matters

Please call our attendance line at 970-348-2000 to excuse all absences.

Emails to teachers DO NOT replace a call to the attendance line.

We begin our learning as soon as the bell rings at 8:40 (Monday) and 7:40 (Tuesday-Friday) and continue learning until the bell rings at 2:50 the end of the day.

It is an expectation that your child is on time to school everyday. Please call into the office before school begins if you know your child is going to be late or absent that day.

We know that mornings can be difficult for students, if your child is struggling in the morning please reach out and we can support you in creating a morning routine.

Once your child has missed more than 4 days of school unexcused a mandatory parent meeting with our parent liaison will be scheduled. For every day your child is absent, important learning is missed. After 7 absences, an attendance contract will be made and doctors notes/other supporting documents will be required for all future absences.

Weekly Attendance Incentive Program

We’re excited to kick off our weekly attendance incentive program! Each Friday morning at 10:00 AM, students with perfect attendance for the week—no absences, tardies, or early dismissals—will receive a raffle ticket.

Students will then choose which of our 6 weekly prizes they’d like to enter for. Some of our exciting prize options include:

🧱 LEGO sets
🎨 Arts & crafts kits
🚗 Remote control cars
🧸 Dolls & action figures
📖 Coloring books
…and more!

Winners will be drawn every Friday at 2:30 PM, and prizes will go home that day.

Help us build strong attendance habits by encouraging your child to be on time and stay the whole day, every day. We can’t wait to celebrate their commitment to learning!
