Welcome Providence Families,
Welcome back! We hope you and your family had a wonderful summer and are as excited as we are for the year ahead.
We are thrilled to report that we have had a fantastic start to the year. The energy and enthusiasm from our students have been truly inspiring, and we are eager to build on this positive momentum together.
As we embark on this journey, we want to emphasize the importance of regular attendance. Consistent participation in school is crucial for student success and helps ensure that every child reaches their full potential. We appreciate your support in making sure your child is present and prepared each day. In case of an absence please send a written note upon your child's return.
Our goal is to work closely with you to make this year a great success for your child. Continuous communication between home and school is essential for addressing any concerns and celebrating achievements. Please accept your child's teacher Class Dojo invite.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, ideas, or feedback. Together, we can
make a significant difference in your child's educational experience.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Here’s to a productive and enjoyable school year!

Theme for the Year: Every Student, Every Day!
Every Pirate is a Treasure!
Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
Who to contact if your child doesn't want to come to school: Your child's teacher and/or our school counelors, Ms. Julie Harris and Mrs. Amy Cannon
