Attendance Matters Month
College Park Tigers let's work hard this year to meet our attendance goals by showing up ON TIME, performing ON TARGET and staying ON TRACK.
We can do this together!
ON TIME ⏰Beat the Bell, 7:40 a.m. Be in Class! On Time, Every Day!
ON TARGET 📈 95% Attendance Rate = No More than 8 Absences
ON TRACK💹 Student Achievement -Advancement - Graduation
Did you know?
Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read. Students can still fall behind if they miss just one or two days every few weeks. Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, fostering open conversations, and promoting resources to support mental health. It’s an opportunity to remind ourselves and others that help is available and that no one is alone in their struggles. Let’s work together to build a supportive community, encourage dialogue, and extend compassion to those who may be in need of support.
Hispanic Heritage Month

Empowering a Legacy of Leadership
Learning the 7 habits of highly successful kids is part of our leadership journey at Princeton's Leadership Academy @College Park Elementary. This exercise helps students understand how shifting their perspectives can positively impact their learning and personal growth.
Our September 6th sorting day was one to remember! Our new students officially joined their College Park house, and now our school community is complete. PreK-2 kicked off the morning by getting placed in their houses, while grades 3-5 had the honor of spinning the magical wheel. The numbers are in! Altruismo and Isibindi both welcomed 37 new students. Amistad led with welcoming 47 new students. Reveur welcomed 30 new students. Together, we'll strive for success in attendance, academics & ROAR behavior.
