Principal's Message

During these financially difficult times, we are often asked by parents, "How can I help?" Here is one ways that doesn't cost money and benefits students.

Every year our school district can gain an additional $1 million or more from the State of California simply by improving school attendance.

How does this make a difference? The State of California funds school districts based on student attendance. Average Daily Attendance (ADA) determines the revenue that a school district receives.

Parents can help by:
1. Making sure that children are in school when they are not sick;
2. Scheduling doctor's appointments or family trips during non-school hours if at all possible.

This will help our school district capture lost revenue. If a student is in school even a few minutes a day, the school district can collect a full day's ADA revenue from the State. If a student is not in school at all, our district collects $0 that day.

Help us make a difference and make "Every Day Count!"
