Little Rockets News!
Dear Families,
Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break! I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend!
We will have three full weeks and one four-day week before our next break. We look forward to accomplishing a lot with your child during the month of December. Please remember that attendance is very important to your child's education. The consistency of the routines and the continual building upon the curriculum makes daily attendance key to your child's educational growth.
Please remember that if your child is going to be absent from school, you need to contact the Washington office at 751-6990 to report this absence. You may also send an email to acalkins@neenah.k12.wi.us. This phone call and/or email should not be sent directly to your child's teacher.
Also, please report the reason for the absence as this assists us with recording it accurately in our attendance system and it also assists us with keeping track of illnesses so we can be aware if there is an unusual number of specific illnesses going around.
Thank you!
Ms. Stacie Brethouwer, Principal
Please mark your calendars!
