What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.

Lunch Menu Update: Lunch tomorrow will be snack pack.

Hooray! JRP's Fall Festival will be Thursday, November 6th! We will have games and concessions. Our King and Queen will be crowned at 6:30pm
