1. Every School Day Counts: We know that families do their best to balance many responsibilities, and we appreciate your partnership in helping your child attend school regularly. Every school day matters!
Currently, more than 30 of our students have missed more than five days of school. When students miss school regularly, it can become more difficult to keep up with lessons, complete assignments, and stay connected with their classmates and teachers. Even a few missed days can add up and have an impact on learning over time.
We have several attendance initiatives to encourage and reward consistent school attendance:
"Blue Ticket" Days: On designated days, students who are present will receive a Blue Ticket, which they can enter into a monthly prize drawing. These fun incentives are designed to build excitement and highlight the importance of being on time and staying the whole school day.
Term Skateboard and Safety Gear Giveaway: Students who maintain at least 95% attendance per Term will be entered into a special drawing for a brand-new skateboard with safety gear. This is just one way we are celebrating commitment and consistency.
Family Communication: We will continue to partner with families by communicating through attendance letters, phone calls, and/or meetings when concerns arise. Our goal is to keep families informed, provide support, and work together to identify and address any barriers that may be making regular attendance difficult.
Thank you for helping us make attendance a priority. By working together to support consistent attendance, we can help ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and feel successful at school.
2. Yearbook Cover Contest: Once again we will be having a yearbook cover contest. For details on how to submit an entry, please see below.
3. We will be having our annual Halloween Parade on Oct. 30th. The parade will start inside the school at 9:00 and make its way outside by 9:10. Parents are welcomed to come and enjoy the parade outside on our west field. Please use the guidelines below when planning costumes with your student. Students who are not within these guidelines will not be able to participate or wear their costume while at school.
