New: Attendance Reminder
Class attendance is critical to a student’s academic success so they may develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially. When calling in your student’s absence, you need to state the reason for their absence.

Excused absences are for the following reasons only:

  • personal illness
  • bereavement
  • religious observance
  • court appearance
  • prearranged absences for family activities, where at least one of their parent/guardian will be present 
  • school-sponsored trips
  • administrative approved absences

When calling your student out, please make sure you are doing so for the reasons above. If the reason for the absence is not one of them, the absence will be considered unexcused. If you have questions please contact Mr. Svare.
New: Robotics Team

When we become “aware of a positive COVID case within the school community, an email will be sent to the classroom(s)/group(s) affected”. For more info: Health and Safety COVID Information.

This is different from last year as now the whole class is notified. Last year parents received communication if their child was within 6 feet for 15 minutes. Linn County Public Health has asked us to send LCPH COVID Letter to parents when such an event has occurred.
