FELICITA FAMILY NEWS

👋 Hello Bobcat Families,

Reminder there is no school tomorrow due to Presidents' Day. See you Tuesday!

❤️ Mrs. Higginbotham

Bobcat Athletes have been working hard in their basketball unit. We have perfected dribbling and passing and next week we will begin shooting.

Next month is also the start of our Kids Heart Challenge were student will have the opportunity to learn hands only CPR and enter to win Super Bowl Tickets like one of our very own students did last year! Pictures below!

This is a friendly reminder to ensure your student’s information is up-to-date. Please contact the front office if you need to update your phone number, emergency contacts, or email address. Please note: Emergency contacts are for emergency use only when parents/guardians cannot be reached. They are not authorized for routine student pick-up.

If someone other than a parent/guardian needs to pick up your student during school hours, please call the office in advance for verification for student release. An actual identification needs to be provided (no photos.) Thank you for your cooperation!

A community school is a public school that partners with community resources to provide comprehensive support to students and families.

WHERE: Felicita MPR

WHEN: Friday, February 21st at 8:15 AM and 6:00 PM.

Help us reach our attendance goal of 94% average daily attendance!

Regular student attendance plays a critical role in our collective mission to ensure every student achieves their fullest potential.

Why Attendance Should Be a Top Priority:

1. Academic Achievement: Regular attendance is fundamental to student success. Each school day is a building block in the learning process. Consistent attendance helps students keep up with coursework, understand key concepts, and perform better academically.

2. Social and Emotional Development: School is a place where students develop crucial social skills and emotional resilience. Frequent absences can hinder their ability to form strong relationships with peers and teachers, impacting their overall development.

3. Future Opportunities: Consistent attendance is linked to higher graduation rates and better long-term outcomes, including higher education and career prospects. By prioritizing attendance, we are directly contributing to students' future success.

4. School Culture: Regular attendance fosters a positive school culture and enhances the learning environment for everyone. It creates a sense of community and ensures that all students have equal access to the resources and support they need.

Congrats to the classes with the least amount of tardies this week!
