Attendance Challenge

Our Attendance Challenge continues this week. As you may recall, the grade level that has the best school attendance over last week and this week will have the honor of decorating our school holiday tree for December!

Last week’s averages per grade level:
Kinder: 86%
1st: 88%
2nd: 87%
3rd: 92%
4th: 91%
5th: 88%



As you can see, third grade currently has the highest percentage of attendance. Will they win? Let’s see what happens this week!
On another note, can you guess which day of the week has the highest average attendance? Tune in next week to find out!

If you are struggling to get your student to school every day, please reach out to your student’s teacher or our wellness team or one of our administrative team. We want to help!

So many clothes…

Families, our Lost and Found area is FULL and OVERFLOWING! Please, please, come and get your students’ clothing and other items that they are missing! There are hoodies, jackets, backpacks, lunch boxes and more!

Anything that is not claimed by its owner by Friday, November 29, will be donated.

And for the future, make sure your students come home with the same clothing they left with, and put their names in them just in case!
