Gentle Reminders
Beginning this week, we will be securing any locker that does not have a lock or is not assigned to a student; therefore, if your child does not have a lock to secure their items, the cost to purchase a lock is $7.00. Students can purchase a lock from the main office.
Also, students need to practice the combination so they can secure and retrieve their items in a timely manner.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Ms. Taborn
Principal
Go Stallions!
Attendance Matters: Tips for Building Positive Attendance Habits
In examining our student data from previous years, we consistently find that:
Students who miss 1 or 0 days of school per month throughout the school year are twice as likely to meet grade level expectations in reading and math than those who miss 2+ days of school per month.
Students who arrive on time to school also generally outperform those who are frequently tardy.
Without question, on-time attendance truly matters to student success. Knowing this, our goal is to help students and their families to build positive attendance habits this school year, and school administrators will be making an extra effort to monitor attendance more closely than ever. Please review this info sheet for some great tips to ensure your child is consistently in attendance and on time this school year.
