As we approach the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, we want to remind you of the importance of ensuring your child's punctual attendance at school. Attendance is crucial for your child's academic success, and consistent attendance helps maintain continuity in their learning journey.


With the holiday weekend approaching, we understand the temptation to extend the break, but we urge you to prioritize your child's education by ensuring they attend school on time and every day leading up to the break. This consistency is especially vital as we approach the end of the school year, ensuring your child remains engaged and prepared for any upcoming assessments or activities.


Additionally, Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave individuals who have served our country. As part of this significant day, we want to put our thoughts with all of our Veteran's and loved ones during this time, as we observe their sacrifices.


Thank you for your continued support in ensuring your child's success. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.


Have a great weekend!


Thank you,

Gavin
