Attendance Matters
Bertram's Attendance Tracking
Bertram's ADA for this past week was 94.47%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal! 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. Let's work toward 98%!
Adventure Dash

From the Counselor…..
New lunch bunch groups will start next week! If you turned in a permission slip, and your student is not in a group yet, they will be! Please be patient as I am trying to accommodate every student (2nd - 5th grade) that would like to participate. I am enjoying the opportunity to get to know your child in a smaller group setting. Bertram students are so full of fun!
Red Ribbon Week is the week of October 23. This year’s theme is “Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug Free.” We will have dress up days (listed below), a coloring competition, the opportunity to sign our pledge sign, and each student will get a red ribbon and a sticker!
Keep talking to your child about what being responsible looks like, and maybe give them a task that they will be responsible for each week. Something as simple as taking the trash out allows kids to take responsibility and gives them a sense of pride, which increases self-esteem!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
