Good Afternoon Wildcat Families,
We are now into the third nine weeks of the school year and it remains critical that all students are on time and present for school. Strong attendance helps students build positive habits, strong relationships, and academic confidence. Last week our attendance rate was 93.9%.
We need your help to make sure all of our students are here each day and on time. Remember if your child is out that you need to submit an absence note using the link on the school website. All students should be in class by 7:50.
As a reminder if you need to change your child’s transportation information for the day, please be sure to complete the transportation change form on the school website prior to 2pm. If you are picking up your child in the car rider line please make sure you have your car rider tag displayed. All students should be picked up by 3:00.
This week is National School Social Worker Week. This week we celebrate the work that Mr. Holmgren does to support our students, families, and our school community.
This week is Read Across America Week.
