Dear Families, our awards/PBIS assembly will be held tomorrow, Friday. Grades Prek-2 will be at 8:30am and grades 3-5 will start at 9:15am. If your student earned an ELA/Math/or star student award, you would have been notified by your child's teacher. If your child earned an attendance award, they will be coming home with a certificate.
Important: our elevator is still not working . We will be posting a live stream link on Friday morning so families can still tune in to watch the assembly. If your child is receiving an award and you do not need elevator access, please stop by! Thank you.

⚠️ Attendance Alert: Are You on Track?

Did you know that missing just 18 days of school (or 10% of the school year) makes a student chronically absent, regardless of whether the absence is excused?

With only 14 instructional days left until the holiday break, consistent attendance now is critical to: 📚 Close learning gaps. 📋 Prepare for screening assessments 🤝 Maintain classroom connection.

Learn more about the importance of attendance and the effects of chronic absenteeism: https://aptg.co/2qVRkF

Let’s partner to ensure every student is present and prepared for success.
