Jackrabbit Journal
December 2023/Diciembre 2023
FROM THE DESK OF DR. AMY FRANK PRINCIPAL!
Jackrabbit Families,
Happy Holidays! We have been tracking our attendance every day at Owens this year to ensure that our students are at school every day to learn. Our goal is 95% attendance daily. Did you know that if kids miss more than two days of school per month, they are less likely to read on grade level, be successful in middle school, or even graduate? Thank you for ensuring that your kids are at school so we can provide excellent instruction. Thank you for supporting our school and our exceptional staff. I hope that you all have a wonderful winter break.
Dr. Amy Frank, principal
Familias Jackrabbit,
¡Felices fiestas! Hemos estado rastreando nuestra asistencia todos los días en Owens este año para asegurarnos de que nuestros estudiantes estén en la escuela todos los días para aprender. Nuestro objetivo es una asistencia diaria del 95 %. ¿Sabías que si los niños faltan más de dos días de escuela al mes, es menos probable que lean a nivel de grado, tengan éxito en la escuela secundaria o incluso se gradúen? Gracias por asegurarse de que sus hijos estén en la escuela para que podamos proporcionar una excelente instrucción. Gracias por apoyar a nuestra escuela y a nuestro personal excepcional. Espero que todos tengan unas maravillosas vacaciones de invierno.
Dra. Amy Frank, Directora
