Bertram's ADA for this past week was 92.74.

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.

Order forms went home in Thursday folders. Please reach out to your child(s) teacher if you have not yet received your order form.

PEC is hosting a Teacher Spotlight Award to recognize the incredible work teachers do in their classrooms and communities. PEC is accepting nominations for the Teacher Spotlight Award through October 25 and encourages community members to fill out the form online.

From the nominations received, PEC will select teachers from across the co-op’s service territory to receive awards. This round’s winners will be announced in November and PEC will visit the teachers at their schools to present them with a thank-you basket of resources and materials to support classroom learning.
