September is Attendance Awareness Month
Dear Shiloh Park fifth and sixth grade families,
Regular school attendance is one of the most important factors in your child’s success. Every school day matters! When students are at school consistently, they have more opportunities to learn, build relationships, participate in activities, and develop the skills they need to be successful. Celebration for student Perfect Attendance will be Friday October 2.
Attendance Matters
