Parents,
Happy Labor Day! I hope that you had a chance to relax and have an enjoyable day with family and friends today. Three-day weekends are the best!
Thank you for all who were able to support PTA's Membership drive. With your support, we were able to meet the requirement for the Visionary Award. This award is given to schools that get at least 400 memberships by August 31st. I am overjoyed at your willingness to support our PTA and school in this way. Congratulations to our PTA for winning this award for the 1st time in school history. Way to go!!
Attendance Update from Ms. Moody-School Counselor
We have officially finished our first month of school and have our first PAWS for Attendance winners. For the school, we had 537 students who had perfect attendance for the month of August. This is 68.8 percent of all Sycamore students, and up 7 percent from last August. Great job Sycamore!
The Grade Level with the highest percentage of perfect attendance was first grade with over 77% of students having perfect attendance for the month.
Mrs. Chase’s class had the highest percentage of perfect attendance with a very impressive 90.9%! Fantastic job!
Keep up the great work and make sure your child is here, Every-day On-time!
