The Weekly Update #4
July 28th, 2024
We love celebrating our students on their special day! If you would like to bring treats to celebrate a student's birthday, please ensure they are store bought. We ask that you drop them off in the office and we will deliver to students at 3:00. This helps to limit instructional loss. Thank you so much!
Attendance Matters
Did you know it takes an average of three days for students to catch up for every one
day they’re absent? Omaha Public Schools is committed to working with our families to
support student attendance every day, because we know every minute counts.
Our district has updated our action plan to follow state guidelines on assisting students
who miss a significant amount of class time. Our student attendance team will meet with
families of students who have 20 total absences, whether or not those absences are
excused. The team will work with the family to create a collaborative plan to improve
attendance.
You can make an impact on your student’s attendance now, and we’re here to help. If
anything is getting in the way of getting your student to school, please contact your
school’s principal, school support liaison, school counselor or bilingual liaison for help.
