Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 9th, is High Attendance Day in Hardin County! We’re aiming for 100% attendance, and we want to see every student show up in their favorite PAJAMAS to celebrate.
Homerooms that reach perfect attendance will earn a special surprise reward! Let’s make tomorrow a record-setting day—please be sure your child is here and on time.

All students will have access to free breakfast and free lunch again this school year. However, each family is still required to complete a Household Income Form to maintain accurate data as a requirement for state and federal funding.
