East Side Eagle News!

Happy October! Fall is upon us and the kids are loving the cooler temps! I know in our home, we are wrapping up fall sports and building a routine!

Here are a few things to continue to help your child succeed:

1)See below about the importance of attendance! We want your kids in school!

2)Please be sure to sign up for Parent Teacher conferences and come check out the Book Fair. We might reward you for "POPPING IN!" 🍿

3)Reminder- SLEEP matters for kids! It makes them SMARTER because they can focus. Help get your child to bed without technology at night. 💤🛌🌛😴

4)October is a busy month in our community. Please glance at all the photos below!

We want our K-1 kids here at school! If students do have a fever or sick, please keep them at home. However, if they are healthy- we need them at school. We can't teach them if they aren't here!

Studies show that consistent attendance from Pre-K gives the best start for early literacy development. Students who aren't reading on grade level by 3rd grade have a lower chance of graduating. It starts that early!

Don't miss out on hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom, like visits to museums, nature hikes, Bryant Honey, parks, and performances of all kinds.

Attending daily allows students to foster strong social bonds and an inclusive peer network. Students who develop their social skills through school attendance have more positive relationships, overall.

Good attendance instills vital skills like punctuality, time management and self-discipline. A big part of succeeding is learning how to learn. Daily attendance from elementary onwards helps students build their toolbox of strategies for success.

Excellent attendance correlates to higher career achievement and earnings potential. And not just that! It correlates to better physical and mental health, healthier relationships, and a happier quality of life. Something we want for every child!
