A Message From the Counselor
End-of-Year Assessments: The Importance of Consistent Attendance
As we approach the end of the school year, it's crucial that students stay engaged and continue to attend school regularly. The best way to prepare for end-of-year assessments is to be present in class every day. By attending school consistently, students receive the important instruction from their teachers that helps them succeed.
We encourage you to do your best to ensure your child(ren) are at school each day, so they can continue to build the knowledge and skills they need for these assessments. Every day of instruction counts!
Thank you for your continued support in making sure your child is set up for success. Together, we can finish the year strong!
