Wow, what a busy last few weeks we have had on campus, and the month of October is filled with more fun on its way! Thank you to all of you who participated in our Penny Wars Fundraiser that raised close to $3,000! We will be using those funds to pay for a new mural that is being painted on our campus.

Attendance Matters~
As we welcome the fall and winter seasons, I want to re-emphasize the critical importance of maintaining good attendance. These upcoming months often bring various vacations and holiday celebrations, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your child's education and attendance remain top priorities.
Our district-wide "Every Day Matters" Attendance Campaign and “Every Day Matters” website are designed to empower you with tips and support, as well as remind us all that regular school attendance is not just a routine requirement; it is a cornerstone of a child's academic success. Missing even just a day or two can have a significant impact on learning and overall progress.
How can you establish good attendance and health habits for your child?
Plan Ahead: Review the school calendar to identify important dates, such as holidays and school breaks. Try to schedule family vacations and activities during these times to minimize disruptions.
Set a Routine: Establish a consistent daily routine for your child that includes a healthy sleep schedule, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and ample time for homework and relaxation. Ensure your child comes to school healthy and ready to learn.
Communicate: Encourage open communication between you, your child, and the school. If your child is unwell or facing any challenges, let the school know as soon as possible.
Be a Role Model: Demonstrate the value of education and a healthy lifestyle by prioritizing punctuality, attendance, and well-being in your own life. Your child will learn from your example.
Celebrate Achievements: Recognize and celebrate your child's achievements and milestones in their academic journey. Positive reinforcement can motivate them to attend school regularly.
Remember, every day at school counts, and your support in fostering good attendance and health habits will have a lasting impact on your child's future success. If you ever have any questions or concerns related to attendance, health, or your child's education, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school staff.
