We are a couple of months into the 2024-2025 school year, Horizon Elementary School has exciting learning activities and high expectations for your child’s learning. We are committed to helping your child become their best and ask for your commitment to making sure your child attends school every day possible this year. The evidence is clear: children with good attendance are more likely to be successful in school.

Regular school attendance from Kindergarten on is essential to successful learning:

• Every day counts! Missing school even 10% of the time has a significant impact on reading and math achievement.

• Students with good attendance performed better in math and reading. Children who had good attendance in Kindergarten through Grade 2 were more than twice as likely to score proficient on state math tests by the time they reached Grade 8 as their peers who missed more school. In reading, there were similar results.

• Good attendance starts early. Research has shown that the attendance habits established in Kindergarten through Grade 2 have lasting effects on students throughout their education:

Thank you for all you do to support your child’s school success and well-being, as well as our school.

This time of the year temperatures can fluctuate from moment to moment. We want the children to stay as healthy as possible during these changes. Please help us help your child be prepared for the changing temperatures by having the appropriate clothing for school and recess (sweatshirts, jackets, hats, gloves).

*Reminder - When snow is on the ground, students who do not have boots and snow pants will be expected to stay on the blacktop area of the playground.
