Here are a few exciting updates for the month ahead:

• Math Night & Special Performance: Get ready for a night of fun! Join us for Math Night alongside a truly magical performance starring our amazing 2nd and 3rd graders. Check out the attached flyer for all the details!

• Parent-Teacher Conferences: Mark your calendars for October 30th! Teachers will be reaching out shortly to schedule a time to celebrate your student’s growth and team up for the year ahead.

We look forward to a month of connections and celebrations. As always, thank you for all you do to support our staff and your kiddos!

Please take a few minutes to complete the short survey linked below and share your feedback about the Summer Learning Kits and resources that were sent home in May. As a Title I campus, gathering parent feedback is an important part of evaluating how we use federal funds to support student learning. Your input will help us improve future resources and ensure we are meeting the needs of our students and families. Thank you for your time and partnership! https://forms.gle/Qab9AVyJSDWJ5S4TA

Every day counts! Whether being out for a legitimate reason or not, missing just 2 days a month adds up to 10% of the school year. That meets the definition of chronic absenteeism—which can create academic gaps and negatively impact student performance. Additionally, elementary is a critical time for building foundational skills for the future. Let’s be here on time, every day when HEALTHY, ready to learn! Our doors open at 7:10 each morning. Tardy bell rings at 7:35. Our school goal is 97% attendance.
