CH-S Attendance Policy Snapshot

The district recently updated their attendance policy.  This is in response to state requirements for student attendance.  We are in the process of updating our Kodiak Handbooks to reflect the changes.  However, we want to provide parents with a “snapshot” of the changes.  If you have any questions, please contact the CH-S Office at (360) 954-3600.
