Reminder- School is not an option.
Data from the first semester at Briarwood is showing that 83% of our students are chronically absent. The definition of chronically absent is missing 18 days for the year or 9 days per semester. Please do your part to change this pattern. Each time a child is absent they miss important instruction and activities planned by teachers.
