No School

No school on Monday, February 12 or February 13 for teacher workdays and conferences.

Attendance

 Our attendance has been better this year.  A student is chronically absent if more than 10% of the school year is missed.  Last year, Perkins had over 30% of students qualify as chronically absent.  So far this year, we are at 18% chronically absent.  Unless your children are sick, be sure to have them at school on time each day.  School starts at 7:45am and we need them there so they don’t miss any instruction.

Pick up and Drop off Procedures

Please remember to have your child exit your car on the passenger side as it is dangerous to get out on the driver side.  Continue to take a right turn only during congested times to allow us to be safer and faster.
