Attendance Challenge: Together Everyone's Attendance Matters

Dates: 1/6/25-2/7/25 (22 school days)

Type of Challenge: Team Challenge

Info:

Each classroom is divided up into teams of 4-5 students.
Every day, Mrs. Keltner will check-in with each team to see if every member is at school.
After a team has all of its members at school for 4 days, they will receive a prize.
At the end of the challenge, the team with the highest attendance percentage will receive an additional prize.
Also, ALL students who maintain 95% attendance or higher for the entire challenge will be invited to participate in "Open Gym" in February.

This means students must be at school 20.9 out of the 22 challenge days. This has been adjusted for our 2 snow days and will continue to be adjusted for any other inclement weather days.

Update: We have had so many teams earn prizes and some who are already working on their second round of prizes. Please keep encouraging the importance of being at school with you student(s) at home. We know that good attendance directly impacts academics.
