Attendance
Our classroom community isn't the same when any student is absent. Every child's presence makes academic achievement possible for all. If students are here for even part of the day, they are counted present and have an opportunity to learn. We are striving to meet our attendance goal, and we really need your support. Unless your child is truly sick, please ensure that he/she attends school every day. When appointments are necessary during the school day, please have your child attend school before and/or after the appointments. We will continue to celebrate our students that have perfect attendance monthly.
Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS)
We have been working hard at collecting PBIS Reward points daily. We earn points by making safe, kind and responsible choices. Weekly, your child can redeem their PBIS rewards points by shopping at our PBIS store. At the end of each quarter, your child will have the opportunity to redeem their remaining PBIS Rewards points. The number of points your child has will determine which activities they can choose to participate in to redeem their points. We are looking forward to these fun experiences!
