Attendance Matters
Regular daily school attendance is a critical factor in school success. Students who are chronically absent from school are at risk of falling behind in academic learning. Poor attendance in early grades can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade. By sixth grade, chronic absence can be a predictor of whether a student is at risk for dropping out of school. Help us meet our goal of having every child in school every day. If your family anticipates an issue with attendance this year, please reach out to our office and we will make a plan to ensure your student gets to school.
New Breakfast and Lunch App
All lunches and breakfasts are free this school year but if your student would like to purchase snacks they will need to have money in their account.
Money may be deposited in your student’s meal
account by cash, check, or by visiting the online payment portal My School Bucks.Black Forest Hills Calendar of Events
