Pauba Valley Flight Plan

I want to highlight how vital daily attendance is to your child’s academic success. Showing up to school every day sets the stage for learning, growth, and achievement, and we need your support to make this happen.

How Good Attendance Leads to Academic Success

Mastery of Material: Every school day introduces new concepts, skills, and lessons. Regular attendance ensures your child doesn’t miss critical instruction, helping them build a strong foundation in subjects like math, reading, and science.
Active Participation: Being present allows students to engage in class discussions, group projects, and hands-on activities, which deepen understanding and reinforce learning.
Skill Development: Consistent attendance helps students practice essential academic skills, like critical thinking and problem-solving, which are honed through daily classroom interactions.
Staying on Track: Missing even a few days can lead to gaps in knowledge that make it harder to keep up with peers. Regular attendance keeps your child on pace with the curriculum.
Confidence and Momentum: When students attend daily, they gain confidence from mastering material and staying engaged, which fuels their motivation to succeed.

How You Can Support Your Child’s Success

Make Attendance a Priority: Ensure your child attends school daily unless they are unwell or facing an unavoidable situation.
Plan Wisely: Schedule appointments or family commitments outside school hours to minimize disruptions.
Stay Connected: If an absence is necessary, contact teachers to help your child stay caught up with assignments and lessons.
Reinforce the Value of Learning: Encourage your child to see each school day as a step toward their academic goals.

Our team is dedicated to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment. If your family faces challenges that impact attendance, please reach out—we’re here to help with resources and solutions.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure your child’s academic success through consistent attendance.

Pauba Valley Elementary School is holding elections for School Site Council (SSC). We invite you to nominate yourself or others to serve as a [parent/ community member, classroom teacher or other staff member]. Please submit your name(s) on the form below by Wednesday, September 17 at 4:00 PM.

School Site Council is composed of equal numbers of staff and parent representatives who serve a 1-2 year term. They meet throughout the year to oversee the implementation of various programs in the school, including state and federally-funded programs. The School Site Council is a governing body which is responsible for deciding how to spend Title I money to improve the instructional programs here at Pauba Valley Elementary School. The School Site Council members work together to set goals for improving student achievement at the school, allocate the funds to accomplish those goals, and evaluate the effectiveness of current programs.

Next week's key will be "Speaking with Good Purpose". Students will look deeper into the power of their words on themselves and others.

We have had many members of our school community share their concerns with vehicles speeding on our surrounding streets, making U-turns in crosswalks, and jaywalking. We are asking for our Pauba families to be extra vigilant before and after school to ensure the safety of all students.
