Attendance is incredibly important to our children learning and to the funding of the school! Please see this Monarch Memo for details of how attendance matters!

Unofficial attendance at 8:00 AM and official attendance at 10:00 AM.

To keep attendance up, please try to schedule any appointments after 10:00 am and check out your child after 10, so they can still be marked present. All attendance details can be seen in the abridged School Handbook.

See this great infographic that shows why attendance is SO important! Did you know that our school misses out on almost $150,000 per year due to any student absence? That’s the equivalent of three full time salaries at school!

Magnolia doesn’t officially celebrate these holidays. For example, children will not dress up for Halloween. However, your class may do their own celebration, and you will be contacted by your guide with the details.
