Every Day Counts!

When students miss school, they miss more than lessons. They miss out on friendships, routines, and opportunities that shape their future. Consistent attendance lays the foundation for success; academically, socially, and emotionally.

Students who attend regularly are more likely to:

Stay engaged and motivated in the classroom
Build lasting connections with teachers and peers
Keep pace with learning goals and avoid falling behind
Develop responsibility and habits that last a lifetime

Families and schools can work together to encourage positive attendance. By showing up each day, students give themselves the best chance to grow, learn, and thrive.

Let’s celebrate Attendance Awareness Month by reminding our students:

Your future starts with showing up today!

Words Matter: Threats, Real or Fake, Carry Serious Consequences

Parents, we encourage you to please talk to your child about the impact their words may have and share this video with them. Threats, real or fake, are taken seriously and may have legal consequences.

As always, we appreciate your partnership in reinforcing with our students the importance of being mindful of their words, of their social media posts, and their jokes.
