March celebrates how lucky we are to have such an outstanding school community. From staff to students, to families, all voices are heard, and we share a common goal of success for all Carter Lake students.
Our Family Engagement Commitee has been hard at work this year building and strengthening partnerships with families. Their latest project is an amazing brochure that highlights the school’s focus on academics, social-emotional learning, and family partnerships.
This document represents our School Annual Action Plan, and was created using family feedback from Community Listening Sessions and Coffee With the Principal, as well as staff input. We are very proud to share what makes Carter Lake so special!
We also thank you for your support of your student(s) at Spring Conferences. These meetings are a crucial way for us to foster strong partnerships with our families – and ensure your student is SOARing every day! We always welcome your feedback on what we are doing well, and ways we can improve.
Together, WE are Carter Lake.

Important information about attendance guidance:
- Tardy bell is at 8:10am. Students should arrive between 7:55 and no later than 8:10am. This is breakfast time and school begins at 8:10am. Our top goal this year is to reduce the number of students arriving after the tardy bell at 8:10am. Students arriving more than 30 minutes late will constitute a half-day absence.
- Please write a note to the teacher for end-of-day changes or call the office early in the day. Dismissal is at 2:40pm and is a busy time for teachers and students. If you have an appointment or need to pick up students early, please stop in the office prior to 2:20pm, otherwise wait for students outside as classes are busy getting ready for dismissal. If a student is picked up prior to 30 minutes early, this also constitutes a half-day absence
- Plan vacation around summer, winter and spring break
- Planned absence form – If you have an emergency or plan for your student to be absent, we have a process for this. Our office and counselor can help you complete a planned absence form.
- Tardy, excused/unexcused conferences and attendance contracts – We are required to hold a conference with families that meet the criteria outlined by district policy at 5 excused absences within a month and 3 unexcused within a month. We will also hold a conference after 5 tardy days.
