Attendance/Tardies/Early Dismissals

What are three reasons why attendance is important?

Regular attendance fosters a classroom community between teachers and children. Students who attend school are more likely to succeed academically. Students gain background knowledge from discussions while learning in school and get to socialize with peers!

 
 

Absence: Parents/guardian may call, 360-662-4031, the attendance office 24 hours a day to re-
port or excuse students’ absence.  If leaving a message, clearly state your student’s name, your
relationship to the student, date (s) of absence and reason (s) for the absence.  Students may
also give the Attendance Secretary a written note (from parent/guardian) with the same infor-
mation signed by a parent/guardian.  A parent/guardian may also email the Attendance
Secretary: ([email protected]).

We do have a callout system that places a call to the homes of students who have missed 1 or
more classes during the day. This call is placed in the evening. 

MS History Club

Hello Everybody,

Do you like watching Jeopardy and wish you could participate as a Middle Schooler?

Do you have Fridays free since you don't belong to any other clubs or Sports on Fridays?

Do you like hitting things?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then MS History Club is for you! We'll be meeting
in Room 216 from 2:40-3:30 every Friday in December, January, and February. We will be
starting on December 1st. You must sign up on Final Forms if you want to attend any of the
meetings.

Thanks,

Mr. Witte

you can help! We are asking interested families to fill out this
confidential Holiday Cheer Form so we can best come together
and serve our Klahowya families.

(Typically, these photos should each be larger than 1 MB in size. 2 MB or higher is preferred.)
Make sure you label each photo with your first and last name!!!
