Principal's Newsletter: September
Greetings Cheetah Families,
As we step into the month of September, we would like to highlight he importance of attendance and its impact on academic success. September is Attendance Appreciation Month, and we want to take this opportunity to foster good attendance habits. Regular school attendance plays a crucial role in your child's education, allowing them to fully engage in classroom activities, build relationships, and make the most of their learning experience. We encourage parents to set their alarms and prioritize their child's attendance by being on time for school and staying at school all day; every minute counts. Establish good study and attendance habits by adding school events, tests and other activities to your family calendar. By working together, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically and unlock their full potential. Let's make this month a celebration of consistent attendance and a commitment to educational growth.
Warm regards,
Ms. Oquendo
