Preschool Art Work
Over the last couple of weeks preschoolers have been focusing on the themes of apples and leaves. They have been able to expand on these themes outside of the classroom to the outdoors where they have been noticing the change of season. They've painted with apples, learned about the life cycle of an apple, and made apple sauce.
Perfect Attendance Awards for the month of September.
Some students received a "perfect attendance award" for being in school during the month of September. We had a total of 33 students in grades K-6 who had perfect attendance. Thank you for helping us improve our student attendance this school year!
Positive Impacts of School Attendance
1. High Academic Achievement: Kids who regularly attend class do not miss out on lessons and information needed for future academic success. Consistency leads to higher class scores and higher self esteem.
2. Develop Healthy Habits and Build Routines: Kids who regularly attend class are able to maintain a consistent schedule that will assist them with time management skills, discipline and meeting commitment expectations. Consistent attendance is a building block to lifelong responsible habits.
3. Build Relationships and Social Skills: Kids who regularly attend class develop social skills through interactions with teachers and peers. These interactions teach peer to peer communication, conflict resolution and build relationships, all while fostering a sense of community, belonging and purpose.
