We are excited to launch our All Hands on Deck campaign! We know that when students are in class, they are building the habits, relationships, and confidence they need to thrive. As we sail towards the end of the school year, we’ve set our sights on improved attendance district-wide! Every school has created incentives and celebrations for hitting this target! 🎯
Facts on Attendance:
📉 Missing just 2 days per month can cause a student to fall behind academically.
🎓 Strong attendance is the #1 predictor of reading at grade level and graduating on time.
🤝 Being in school every day builds the routines and social connections that help students succeed.
How Families Can Help:
✅ Set consistent bedtime and morning routines.
✅ Prepare backpacks and clothes the night before for a smooth start.
✅ Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
We are "All Hands on Deck" to support our students, and we thank you for being partners in education! We know it takes a community to help a child thrive. This includes educators providing engaging lessons, parents ensuring a structured routine, and students putting in the effort. We need everyone working together to finish the year strong. If the waters are rough and you're facing barriers to getting your child to school on time, please reach out! We are to help. Our crew is stronger when we are all together! 🌊✨
Ante la posibilidad de condiciones climáticas invernales durante la noche, el distrito escolar de ABSS operará con un retraso de dos horas mañana, jueves 5 de febrero. Este retraso permitirá que haya más luz natural cuando todos comiencen sus desplazamientos por la mañana. Se recomienda al personal y a las familias que extremen las precauciones y se tomen tiempo adicional para llegar a la escuela y al trabajo por la mañana.

A pesar del sol y las temperaturas ligeramente más cálidas de hoy, muchas carreteras aún están cubiertas de hielo y nieve. Mañana, martes 3 de febrero, será un día de trabajo opcional para los maestros. No habrá clases para los estudiantes. Tampoco habrá actividades deportivas ni extracurriculares. La sesión comunitaria sobre la rezonificación en la Escuela Preparatoria Southeast Alamance se ha reprogramado para el lunes 9 de febrero a las 6:00 p. m. Agradecemos nuevamente a nuestro equipo de Instalaciones y Mantenimiento por evaluar las condiciones de las carreteras, compartir estas fotos de todo el condado y despejar los estacionamientos y las aceras de nuestras escuelas.
