Attendance Tip of the Week

Teachers can support students best when they’re in class. Real-time feedback, hands-on learning, and group discussions can’t always be replicated through make-up work. Attendance ensures your child receives all the benefits of live teaching.

Students are allowed 18 unexcused hours before not earning the Christmas incentive. Remember excused hours will never count against students for the incentive.

Students are considered excessively absent in a school year when they miss 38 hours in a month or 65 hours in a school year. This includes both excused and unexcused hours. 

Students are considered habitually truant if they miss 42 hours in a month or 72 hours in a school year. This includes only unexcused hours.

Reading Tip of the Week

Ask about the author’s purpose. 'Why do you think the author wrote this story—to entertain, teach, or persuade?' Thinking about purpose sharpens comprehension.

Math Tip of the Week

Have your child explain different ways to solve the same problem. For example: 48 ÷ 6 can be solved by repeated subtraction or by knowing multiplication facts.
 

PBIS Expectations

Did you know that PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports? As a school, we have school wide PBIS expectations throughout the building. You may hear your student talking about these things.
