Reminders:
Pick-up/drop-off: Everyone is doing a great job and things are moving much faster! Please remember to pull as far forward as you can and make sure your child has their stuff ready once you stop. We’re asking students to wait at the crosswalk until cars pull up and stop so we can get as many cars in at one time.
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.
