📢 Attendance Update 🏫 Our daily school-wide attendance goal is 95%! Unfortunately, we did NOT meet our attendance goal for the weeks of October 12–23.
🎯 Let’s work together to reach our goal! Attendance is essential to student learning and success. Every day in the classroom makes a difference!
Please help us improve our attendance by ensuring your child:
⏰ Arrives at school on time.
📚 Stays for the entire school day.
📅 Attends school every day, unless they are sick with an excused absence.
Every day counts, and every student matters! Let’s work together to achieve our 95% attendance goal ! 💪📚
