☀️ Tuesday Tune-Up: Attendance Check!
It's Tuesday, and we are full steam ahead with a great week of learning.
We want to give a huge shout-out to all our students who showed up on time and ready to learn yesterday. Keeping that consistent attendance momentum is key.
Remember, missing even a single day, especially early in the week, means missing instruction that often builds on the previous day's lesson. Today's learning is essential.
Please help your child stay engaged by ensuring they are here, present, and ready to participate.
