Thank you for all you do each day to help your child show up ready to learn. We’ve been celebrating our daily attendance, and your support is a big part of why our absences continue to decrease. When students are here consistently, they build stronger skills, stay connected with their classmates, and feel more confident in the classroom.

Our recent attendance data show just how much progress we’re making as a school community. Each day, more and more students are present, learning, and thriving—and that’s because of you. Your efforts truly make a difference.

Mondays are important days for learning. Many teachers introduce new skills and new content at the start of the week, which helps set students up for success over the next few days. When students miss Mondays, they often miss the foundation for the lessons that follow.

Please make sure your child is here and on time every Monday so they can start the week strong, stay confident in their learning, and not fall behind. Your support truly makes a difference in their success.

As we move toward several exciting events —our Black History Program, the African American Poetry Slam this week, and iReady testing in March—we want every student to be part of these important experiences. Regular attendance helps ensure your child doesn’t miss out on learning opportunities, celebrations, or the chance to show what they know during testing.

Thank you for continuing to make school attendance a priority. We appreciate your partnership, your encouragement at home, and the way you help your child start each day strong. Together, we can keep building great habits and great success for every student.

See you soon. ON TIME and READY TO LEARN!

Mrs. Jordan
