Lost and Found
Help your child be a H.E.R.O. (Here Everyday Ready and On time)
Attendance plays such a big role in academic success. Our goal for our students is to be at school before our tardy bell rings at 8:00 AM. Help us reach our goal of decreasing our tardies and being ready to engage in instruction each day! We know that we can count on you, parents!
Attendance
Attendance letters will be sent out for 3 unexcused full day/partial day absences within a 4-week period. If your child is absent, please send a note upon their return to school. At 10 unexcused full day/partial day absences, students are referred to truancy court. If your child is absent, please send a note or email stating the nature of the absence. Parents may write notes or send doctor's excuses to the office and/or classroom teacher. If notices are sent via email to the classroom teacher, you may also include KellyDay@misdmail.org, our PEIMS clerk, if you'd like.
Postive Office Referrals 🌟
We're celebrating Positive Office Referrals at CSE!
We have some amazing kiddos here at Spencer, and we want to shine a light on them too! When a staff member notices a kiddo making a great choice that follows our Spencer Behavior Matrix, he/she has the opportunity to earn a postive office referral. I've been able to celebrate over 20 kids so far. I'm looking forward to celebrating even more!
