Wildcat Weekly

Dear Morse Families,

Consistent attendance is key to student success! When students are present every day, they have more opportunities to learn, engage with their peers, and build strong academic habits.

A big congratulations to the following classes for having the highest attendance rates for the month of January! These three classes have earned an extra recess for their outstanding attendance:

🏆 Mrs. Garcia-Ruiz's Kindergarten Class 97.95%
🏆 Mrs. Tang's Sixth Grade Class 97.47%
🏆 Ms. Parelli's Fourth Grade Class 97.28%

We are excited to announce a special February Attendance Challenge! Every student who attends school every day in February will be entered into a raffle for fun prizes and incentives! Let’s work together to make every school day count!

Thank you for your continued support in making attendance a priority. Let’s make February a great month!

We currently have close to 100 overdue library books! Please remind your student to return their library books each week. If the book(s) have been lost, please let Ms. Casgua know.

Thank you for your support!
