Our lost and found table is growing by the day! To help us keep the pile manageable, we ask that students write their names on the inside of their lunch boxes, on water bottles and in tags on their sweatshirts so we can easily locate their owner. Remember, all unclaimed lost and found gets donated to charity at the end of each trimester!
• Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation.
• Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully or
facing some other potentially serious diffculty.
• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
• By 9th grade, regular and high attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
• Missing 10 percent, or about 18 days, of the school year can drastically affect a student’s academic success.
• Students can be chronically absent even if they only miss a day or two every few weeks.
• Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child graduate from college and keep a job.
Parents! We need your help...
We are having trouble with "Air Drops" in the cafeteria during lunch. We would appreciate if you could speak to your child about not doing these and turning off this feature on their phone. We know that kids like having their devices during lunch, but if Air Dropping continues, we will be forced to take a hard look at our policy and re-think this lunch time privilege. Thank you!
