Attendance Matters!
Our goal is to keep chronic absenteeism LOW so that every student has the best chance to succeed.
Student learning depends on being in school every day. The more time students spend in class, the more opportunities they have to learn, grow, and achieve.
If your child has missed 2 or more days this school year, they are considered chronically absent, according to the West Virginia Department of Education policy.
Please help us by making sure your child is here, on time, every day, ready to learn. It is also important that they do not leave school early. Please schedule doctor's appointments on days off from school or after 2:30 P.M.
Together, we can make sure all students have the best year possible!

The first visit is for cleanings and x-rays if needed.

Service Personnel Day!
Mr. Jones's students participated in a cup stacking challenge where they were asked to copy different cup designs. Then the students were split up into groups to see which team could build the tallest tower.
Mr. Jones's classes learned that shadows are made when an object blocks a source of light. They learned about opaque, transparent, and translucent objects. Then the students made their own shadow puppets.
