ATTENDANCE MATTERS: EVERY DAY COUNTS
We have an Attitude of Gratitude for your Attendance!
As you make plans for Thanksgiving break, we want to stress the importance of sending your student to school every possible day. Every year, absences spike in the weeks before and after a holiday as families extend their vacation days. We know that just a few missed days, even if they are excused absences, can add up to a loss of learning time and put your student behind in school.
Following Thanksgiving break, we only have 10 school days. Students, you will then receive your final grades for the fall semester. These are the grades that will be on your transcript and colleges & universities will see. Let’s make every day count!
ARC ADVENTURES AFTER HOURS
Cyber Coding club
Free Guitar lessons
ATHLETICS
MINDFUL MOMENTS
We’re calling on our amazing school community to support those in need by donating gently used or new clothing items. Drop off donations at the Parent Center anytime from November 4 to 15. Every piece counts and goes a long way in helping our families and neighbors. Let’s come together to make a difference!
Class of 2025
Hey Class of 2025! Help us make an amazing bulletin board by submitting your baby pictures! We’d love to feature all your adorable photos on display. Please scan the QR code or use the link to submit your pictures by November 15. Don’t miss out—let’s make this a board to remember!
