Minimum Days All Week @ Mattos
Dear Mattos Families,
My husband and I were just talking about how as we've gotten older how much busier our lives seem and how quickly time goes. It's hard to believe we are already close to celebrating Thanksgiving! During this time of year, it is especially important to take the time, no matter how busy, to show gratitude to others. By showing gratitude, moments of goodness shine through. I want to thank our Mattos families for their continued support. Together, you help create a positive community that motivates me beyond measure. Our Mattos PTA supports everything we do for our students and I am entirely grateful for their hard work and dedication. My deepest appreciation to the entire Mattos staff for supporting our students in a safe and healthy environment. I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Attendance Matters
As we approach the winter season it is important to remember that daily attendance remains important. Please do not schedule trips outside of the window of days off (November 18 - November 26 and December 23 - January 7). Even a few missed days can lead to confusion when returning to class as well as lost social time with friends. Also remember, Public Health guidelines call for students to stay home from school only when they have a fever, diarrhea, or are vomiting. For guidance as to when to keep your child home, please see Health Guidance for Going to School.
Instructional Calendar- Please do not schedule vacations during the 180 instructional days.
