Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
If you are having trouble with your child not wanting to come to school, please contact us. Your classroom teacher, the principal, and/or our guidance counselor, Mrs. Chapman. We would be happy to work with you to support your child.
The PTA meets on the second Wednesday of each month. They send communications using Parent Square regarding upcoming events. They also publish a monthly newsletter on the 2nd Friday of each month.
