Perfect Attendance
· The end of the third six weeks was on Friday, January 15th. In order to be eligible for the perfect attendance incentive, the guidelines below should have been followed by students. This information has previously been shared with families and staff.
What is perfect attendance? Perfect Attendance is attendance that is perfect, with 0 tardies. Also, students are expected to remain in class during the instructional day in order to be eligible to participate in the attendance incentives. Our doors open at 7:30 am and school is from 8:00am- 3:00 pm.
· The incentive for students who earned perfect attendance for this six weeks is lunch with administrators and counselor. Please speak to eligible students and inform the families of those who earned this incentive. Lunch with administrators and counselor is scheduled during student’s regular lunch time. We will walk to your classes to get the students. Lunch for this incentive is scheduled for Thursday, January 21st.
· Additional goodies for these students will be placed in your boxes by Veronica as-well on Tuesday.
