the transfer of matter. What is an example of a
wave in real life?

Importance of Attendance
•Students' education is vital to us at Butler College and attendance is
a key part to having the opportunity to succeed. We expect every
student to attend school unless there is a reasonable cause.
•Low attendance puts students at risk of failing academically and
restricts their future employment options.
•Even coming to school late can have a detrimental effect on their
ability to academically succeed.
Attendance
Communicating with Teachers
•Students should ensure they regularly communicate with their teachers'
concerning assessments and if they require assistance with any concepts.
*These expos run over the weekends for students and parents to attend.
