Updates

  • At parent drop off, please have your student get out of the car as soon as you pull by the yellow line sidewalk. Both sets of doors are open. This will speed up the process.

  • When students have more than $15 in breakfast/lunch charges, they will be given an alternative lunch.

  • Just a reminder that only plain water is allowed in water bottles here at school. This is due to possible accidental spills.
 

Attendance Tip of the Week

Attendance impacts academics directly. Students who miss fewer days tend to perform better on assignments, tests, and long-term projects because they have the background knowledge to succeed.

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

With nonfiction books, ask your child to share one fact they learned and why it’s interesting. This builds comprehension and curiosity.

Math Tip of the Week

Encourage persistence. Remind your child that it’s okay if a problem feels tricky—trying different strategies builds resilience.

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.
