Wildcat Family News
Welcome Back!!
We are so excited to be back and to see all of your bright and shiny faces. We hope you enjoyed the Winter Break and are just as excited to back as we are.
Attendance Matters- All day, every day!!
Please make sure your students are here each day no later than 9:00 a.m. and that they stay all day.
- Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade or be held back.
- By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.
- Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school, or about 18 days in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month and that’s known as chronic absence.
Check out the awesome things happening everyday with your Wildcats.
