NOVEMBER FOCUS

Beginning of the 2nd 9 Weeks


Dear Parents,

As we enter November, I want to highlight our focus on attendance and the importance of a strong start to the 2nd nine weeks of the school year.


Consistent attendance is crucial for your child's academic success. Regular participation in class helps students stay engaged, build relationships, and keep up with important concepts. We encourage you to ensure your child is present every day.


As we begin this new quarter, we will be introducing new topics and activities that will further enrich their learning experience. Your support at home plays a vital role in their success.

Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.


Best regards,

Mrs. Comeaux, Principal

During a recent Coffee Talk with Mayor White, VPSB Superintendent Tommy Byler, and Community Outreach Coordinator Kristin Moore, we addressed a key issue facing our schools: chronic absenteeism. It became clear that our schools need a strong push to improve attendance and support student success. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re launching the "๐€๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐–๐ž ๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐–๐ข๐ง" campaign, uniting students, families, local businesses, and community organizations to make a real difference!

๐†๐จ๐š๐ฅ:

To reach a 92% attendance rate across all Abbeville schools for the second nine-week period. Achieving this goal will help students stay engaged, reach their full potential, and make the most of their educational experience.

๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ˆ๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž:

When a school meets the 92% attendance goal, celebrate with a special event to honor the hard work of students, teachers, and families. These events will showcase the positive momentum and the great things happening in our schools!

๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐จ ๐€๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:

๐‘บ๐’•๐’–๐’…๐’†๐’๐’•๐’”: Make every day count by attending school regularly.

๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’†๐’”: Support your child in overcoming any challenges that may impact their attendance.

Weโ€™re inviting local businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations to join us in making a positive impact. If you can offer rewards, like discounts or small treats, to students who achieve perfect attendance, email tommy.byler@vpsb.net

Your involvement can make a difference in helping encourage and motivate!

Join us in supporting our students and fostering a community that values education. Together, we can ensure every student has the resources they need to attend school consistently. If youโ€™re interested in partnering, reach out and be a part of this important initiative!

We are so excited to continue to offer this wonderful technological tool to all of our students. Students will be issued a daily use Chromebook to complete activities; however, Chromebooks will remain on campus unless a need arises for remote learning.


Students must be in their homeroom no later than 7:23 to receive their Chromebooks in homeroom. Any student arriving after this time will not be allowed to go to homeroom to pick up their Chromebook (so as to not disturb that class). We appreciate your efforts in having students arrive at school on time.
