How are we doing? Attendance Update
This year, we have several incentives to encourage attendance. Our club days are random so children must show up each day to participate. We also have established mentors for students who are chronically absent. Our check in and check out student support system also encourages students to succeed in school through strong, important relationships with a caring adult. Lastly, we will be making announcements about the learning centers who are reaching high levels on our WSIC newscast.

Parent Participation at School
- ensure your child attends school regularly
- look for school communication in folders and respond when needed
- offer to volunteer with PTA, library boosters, Washington Troupe support, or in your child's classroom (each teacher has different preferences with this, so please email and set up a time to plan this).
- join us for celebrations of learning and other parent engagement activities in the evenings and during school hours
- eat lunch or breakfast with your child periodically (they love a special visit)
- help supply our classrooms with needed items for class projects and parties
