Respect, Pride, Integrity - The Rocket Way
Families,
It is hard to believe that we are already through September! Our students are working hard! We had our first Rocket Who Rocked it assembly this past week. These assemblies are the highlight of the month!
Please take a look at upcoming events in our PTO section. We are needing volunteers.
Have a great week!

Hi Families,
As a reminder, every student received a KickStart to Career savings account when they started kindergarten. This program continues until graduation, and the funds can be used for educational or career-related expenses. Watch this short video for a quick refresher on KickStart to Career.

Every Student, Every Day!
Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
Who to contact if your child doesn't want to come to school: 231-744-4777 ext 2000.
