Dear Parents and Guardians,
We would like to remind families of the importance of student attendance on early release days. Although students are dismissed earlier than usual, these days are full instructional days and count toward each student’s overall attendance record.
When students are absent on early release days, it negatively impacts their attendance percentage, which can result in a lower overall attendance rate. Consistent attendance is essential for academic success, classroom participation, and meeting school and district attendance requirements
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed. If you have any questions regarding attendance, please contact the school office.
Sincerely,
RCMS
