Homecoming is near! We welcome mums and garters, but please know that if wearing it becomes distracting during the school day, the teacher will set the it aside for safekeeping until the end of the day.

Bertram's ADA for this past week was 92.92.

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able.

• Did you know that just 2 absences in a Six Weeks can mean YOUR child is CHRONICALLY ABSENT?
• Do you know the research about Chronically Absent student performance?
• Did you know that when Absences ADD UP this one statistic can contribute to below grade-level achievement and increase in social emotional anxiety for students?

Attendance matters and absences add up! Make every day count.

We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. To encourage this responsible attendance, beginning Tuesday, October 1st:

• Students present in their classroom at 7:45 when the tardy bell rings, will get a red ticket.
  
• Students at school at 3:15 will get a red ticket.
  
• Students will choose which prize box to place their red attendance tickets in.
• Tickets will be drawn the day of the Bulldog Boogie.

• Our first round of prizes to be drawn Oct. 31st are:

• Razor Scooter

• Instant Polaroid Camera and Film

• Mario Brothers Lego

National Night Out is a free event hosted by Bertram Elementary, Bertram Police Department, and Bertram Bulldog PTO to engage the community in an evening of free fun! We will have a hot dog dinner, local business, bounce houses, and fun learning games for students to take home! The event is 100% free with no onsite sales. We hope you can join us!

If you are a business who would like a table please scan the QR code on the flier.
