Every Day Counts at CRES!
To ensure transparency and celebrate our progress, we will be sharing weekly attendance data and updates in our newsletter. By highlighting this important information, we aim to keep our families informed and energized about our collective efforts to encourage regular school attendance.

At our CRES Attendance All Stars Pep Rally on Thursday, we celebrated strong student attendance and reminded every student that showing up every day, on time, truly counts! Together, we are building habits for success. 🎉 #CRESAllStars #EveryDayMatters
Please be advised that we are required to meet to develop attendance plans for students who have accumulated 10 absences. We kindly ask for your partnership in these meetings so that we can better understand your family’s needs and collaborate on a plan that supports your child’s success.
Thank you for working with us to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive!
Together, let’s make every day count!
