Updates

CURRENT ATTENDANCE RATE

Currently, Stewart Elementary is at a 12% chronic absenteeism rate. With recent spikes in illnesses, we've seen quite a bit more student absences and an increase in students being sent home sick. The winter months are always tricky with staff and student sickness. Please continue to communicate with Stewart when your child is absent and, if you have them, turn in your doctor's notes. Thank you parents for making sure your students are getting to school!

Stewart Attendance Goal - maintain a chronic absenteeism rate under 13%

Reminders

End of Day/Dismissal Changes

If there will be a change in your students after school plans, please notify the office by 2pm Monday-Thursday and noon on Friday if possible. When there are changes, there are several things to communicate to ensure students get where they are supposed to go. Please allow us time to make these changes by notifying us as early as possible.

Negative Lunch Balance Notices

Just a little reminder about the Negative Lunch Balance Notices your child may receive, students with siblings at other schools are all linked together - so a charge might be from a different school. If your student/family are on Free/Reduced and you student wishes to get an extra milk, al a cart item, or brings a cold lunch and needs a milk those items are not included in the Free/Reduced program so you will be responsible for those charges. If you have any questions or need more information about this please feel free to contact the office and we would be happy to discuss this further with you.
