Every minute and every day of school attendance makes a positive impact on a student’s future. As you see in the graphic below, students with good attendance (especially in kindergarten and first grade) are significantly more likely to be reading at or above grade level after third grade.
Students who miss 10% or more of school days are considered chronically absent. To help your student have good attendance, please remember:
-When students arrive late to school or leave early, those minutes can add up to chronic absenteeism.
-If your child feels unwell and you aren’t sure if they can attend school, please call our school nurse to discuss.
-If your student will miss school, please call the office to let us know.
-If you would like help with problem-solving barriers to attendance, please let us know. Ms. Taylor, SUCCESS Case Manager, can support students and families in many ways.
The grade with the best attendance this month was 4th grade again! We have other grade levels catching up, so keep coming to school on time and staying the WHOLE day!
Arrival time is between 7:25 AM and 7:40 AM.
Dismissal is at 2:35 PM.
Cold weather is here! Students will continue to go outside for recess when the actual temperature and/or the windchill is above 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Please send your child to school in winter coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and scarves.
When snow moves in, the students will need to have snow boots and snow pants in order to play in the snow. If students do not have appropriate snow gear, they will still go outside and will need to stay on cleared surfaces such as blacktop and sidewalks.
