Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks to your generosity and for sharing the fundraising link the PTO not only met - but exceeded the fundraising goal! Our students LOVED the Bulldog Olympics and had a blast participating in all the events. Bulldog Olympics was a smashing success and we can't wait to do it again next year.

Bertram's ADA for this past week was 91.33.

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able.

• Did you know that just 2 absences in a Six Weeks can mean YOUR child is CHRONICALLY ABSENT?
• Do you know the research about Chronically Absent student performance?
• Did you know that when Absences ADD UP this one statistic can contribute to below grade-level achievement and increase in social emotional anxiety for students?

Attendance matters and absences add up! Make every day count.
