It is wonderful to see such a strong collaboration between students, staff, and our community. Thank you for being GREAT partners in the important work of educating our students.
Please be sure to check out the calendar for next week. As a reminder, Tuesday, March 5th, is a student holiday due to the primary election.
In partnership,

Attendance Matters
Many of our youngest students miss 10 percent of the school year—about 18 days a year or just two days every month. Chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, and even preK, can predict lower test scores, poor attendance and retention in later grades, especially if the problem persists for more than a year. Do you know how many young children are chronically absent in your school or community? Click here for more information and here for more information in Spanish.
