Monthly Newsletter

As we approach the month of November, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and active participation in our school community. Your involvement has played a crucial role in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for our students.

This past month has been filled with exciting activities and events, and it has been wonderful to see so many families come together to support our school. Whether you volunteered at our events, attended parent-teacher conferences, or simply encouraged your child in their learning, your contributions make a significant difference.

Looking ahead, I am excited about the opportunities that November will bring. We have planned our annual Thanksgiving luncheon and invite you to attend.

Thank you once again for your partnership and dedication to our school. Together, we can continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for our children.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful November!

Mrs. Rodriguez,

School Principal

As we approach the fall season, I want to take a moment to emphasize the critical role that regular attendance plays in your child's academic success.

Statistics show that:

1. Students with consistent attendance are 20% more likely to graduate on time compared to their peers who miss school frequently.
2. Every day a student is absent can lead to a significant loss of learning, with studies indicating that missing just two days a month can equate to nearly a month's worth of lost instruction over the school year.

As the weather changes and fall is upon us, it is important to keep our students healthy. Encourage them to practice good hygiene, eat nutritious meals, and get plenty of rest. A healthy child is more likely to attend school regularly and engage fully in their learning.

By ensuring that your child comes to school every day, you are setting them up for a brighter future. Each day in the classroom is an opportunity for growth, learning, and building the skills they will need in life.

Let’s work together to support our children in making school attendance a priority. Your involvement is crucial, and together we can inspire our students to value their education and strive for excellence.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child's education.

P.S. Don't forget that a student is marked absent at 9:30 a.m.
