Bulldogs,
This fall has gone by quickly! We have made fantastic growth at North Side and South Side. Students are showing the BARK Expectations each day in their classrooms, hallways, and on the playground. It makes me proud to see students doing the right thing and helping others. Continue to encourage your child to Be Safe, Act Responsible, Respect Others and Keep Working Hard.
Thank you for supporting their academic growth at home. It's important for your child to see your interest in their experience at school. Talk with your child about what they are learning and read with them each day. This is the best way to show your support and model the importance of reading.
Parent - Teacher Conferences are coming up in November. Our teachers are looking forward to seeing you and sharing about the work your child is doing each day. Directions for scheduling a conference are included in this newsletter. If you have not already, please schedule your conference soon. We would like to have 100% attendance at our conferences. Thank you!
Wishing you a safe and healthy fall,
Mrs. Frenchick
The Dogs are Here / Los Perros Estan Aqui 🐾
We celebrate when the whole class is present for school. Each class adds a puzzle piece to their poster any day all students are present and on time. When their bulldog puzzle is complete, the class enjoys a small class celebration. This is a fun way to emphasize the importance of being at school and on time.
The Effects of Chronic Absenteeism
Why is school attendance so important?
When absent from school, children miss important instruction and fall behind in their work and basic skills. The development of reading and math skills begin as early as Preschool. Missing instruction in elementary school can negatively impact future learning. Students who struggle with reading are more likely to drop out of high school. Adults without a high school education typically earn lower incomes and experience higher unemployment than those who earn a high school diploma.
Hampton-Dumont is dedicated to creating adults who are prepared for their post-secondary path. Each day, the elementary staff works to guide our students' academic and social growth. Thank you for partnering with us in these efforts! We make a great team!
