FELICITA FAMILY NEWS

👋 Hello Bobcat Families,

A big thank you to our families with veterans. We honor you as we take this extra day off from school. 🗽 See you all on Tuesday!

❤️ Mrs. Higginbotham

Chess club starts this week for Grades 1-5! Chess club will be Tuesdays at 7:40. Ms. Mendoza will be capping enrollment at 40 students for Grades 1-5. Students need a signed permission slip to attend and should either eat breakfast beforehand, or get a grab and go breakfast from the cafeteria to eat at snack time.

Thank you to a very generous Bobcat Family for purchasing 20 chess sets to get this club started! You are amazing! 💖

Did you know Mondays are our LOWEST attendance day? Let's help improve this school-wide goal to increase attendance on Mondays! We will be having special competitions starting 11/18. Please make your best efforts to help send your students to school on this day!

Help us reach our attendance goal of 94% average daily attendance!

Regular student attendance plays a critical role in our collective mission to ensure every student achieves their fullest potential.

Why Attendance Should Be a Top Priority:

1. Academic Achievement: Regular attendance is fundamental to student success. Each school day is a building block in the learning process. Consistent attendance helps students keep up with coursework, understand key concepts, and perform better academically.

2. Social and Emotional Development: School is a place where students develop crucial social skills and emotional resilience. Frequent absences can hinder their ability to form strong relationships with peers and teachers, impacting their overall development.

3. Future Opportunities: Consistent attendance is linked to higher graduation rates and better long-term outcomes, including higher education and career prospects. By prioritizing attendance, we are directly contributing to students' future success.

4. School Culture: Regular attendance fosters a positive school culture and enhances the learning environment for everyone. It creates a sense of community and ensures that all students have equal access to the resources and support they need.

Congrats to all the attendance winners with the highest attendance last week!
