School Updates 🏫

🚨🚨🚨Attendance Challenge! 🚨🚨🚨

We've reached that time of year... March Madness - School wide attendance challenge! In March, If our school reaches 96% attendance (we are currently at 93%), it will activate a crazy staff spirit day.

if our school reaches 97% attendance as a whole on any given day, it will activate a TEACHER SWAP - meaning the teachers will switch and teach another class!

Stay tuned, and please remember to be at school as much as possible! (5th grade, we're especially looking at you! 👀)
