Shining Brighter, Growing Stronger!
Dear Main Street Families,
Due to the forecast of inclement weather, we have sent home packets or electronic devices home so students can complete assignments if schools are closed. Listen to your local news stations for school closing information. In addition, I will alert you via email and phone call of school closings and delays.
π Attendance Matters!
Currently, 65% of our students attend school 90% or more of the time. Our schoolwide goal is 90%, and we need your continued partnership to help us reach it.
π Attendance Shout-Out!
Congratulations to the students in Ms. Westβs class, who are the first homeroom to earn all of the attendance letters! Letters are earned each day a class has perfect attendance, and their consistency and commitment truly paid off. As a reward, Ms. Westβs class will enjoy a pizza partyβway to go! ππ
Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your childβs academic success. Students who attend school daily are more likely to stay on track, develop strong learning habits, and make meaningful growth in reading and math.
How you can help:
-
β Ensure your child arrives at school on time each morning
-
β Avoid early dismissals whenever possible
-
β Schedule appointments after school hours when you can
-
β Rememberβevery minute of instruction counts!
Second marking period ended today. You will receive information this week to schedule your report card conference. Report card conferences will take place Thursday, February 5th form 8:30 am - 5:30 pm. It is important you schedule your conference to discuss your child's progress.
