It has been so wonderful to be back at Osage Creek! Our students, families, and teachers are the BEST! The academic and emotional support that our little Otters recieve is exceptional. I have loved getting to rejoin our school family!
Thank you for ensuring your student is on time each day for learning. Every minute matters and we work hard to maximize our time together. Our doors open at 7:25, students begin their day with teachers at 7:45, and the tardy bell rings at 7:50. We begin our learning promptly at 7:50 each day.
Our current daily attendance rates for the first quarter are:
Kindergarten: 94.98%
1st Grade: 95.24%
2nd Grade: 95.59%
3rd Grade: 96.11%
4th Grade: 95.81%
Great job THIRD GRADE leading the way on daily attendance!
Daily attendance is vital in helping students stay on track academically, building strong relationships, practicing social and communication skills, and increasing connection and a sense of belonging. Studies show that increased absenteeism, even one day per month, can lead to lower achievement and increased emotional concerns.
If your student is struggling with a situation and hesitant to come to school, please reach out to their homeroom teacher, one of our counselors, or one of our administrators. We are all here to help!
If your student will be absent, please let our attendance clerk know by emailing ocesattendanceclerk@bentonvillek12.org or calling 479-286-9500.
Sincerely,
Jessie Lisenbee, OCE Principal
