ABC's of Student Success
Attendance is a critical factor for any child's school success. It is impossible to replace the learning that happens on any school day with make-up work. Regular attendance and promptness are good habits that are expected at all levels of school and in the workplace. This year commit to excellence in attendance.

Parent Pointers
- Set a regular time each day for doing homework. That time should be free of distractions such as television and phone calls.
- Be sure your child has a place that is quiet and well lit. You could make a homework station in order to make sure all the needed supplies are available.
- Consistently review your child's homework and agenda during homework time.
School-wide Ongoing Fundraisers
BoxTops - You can find the tops on participating products. Cut out the top and have your child bring it to school. We earn 10 cents for each top collected. Visit www.boxtops4education.com for a listing of products.
