Attendance Matters

 A NEW QUARTER, A NEW CHALLENGE! 
Families, this Thursday, November 5th, we kick off Second Quarter, and we are excited to get started! Attendance plays a BIG part in your child's success at school, and we want to give our students something exciting to work toward!
Here's the challenge! Students who maintain 95% attendance or better during Second Quarter will be entered into a drawing to win an AWESOME ROBOT! Missing just 2 days during Second Quarter will allow your student to reach 95% attendance!
That's right! Just by coming to school and being ready to learn, your student could be our lucky winner!
