Dear Parents and Guardians:

As we embrace the festive spirit of December, we also want to emphasize the importance of finishing the first half of the school year strong. The weeks leading up to winter break are critical instructional time, not just a countdown to vacation. 

This is a crucial time for students to practice responsibility and consistency, habits that are vital for success in school and beyond. Showing up every day, on time, reinforces a positive work ethic. Let's work together to ensure every student is present, rested, and ready to learn every single day until the break begins.

Attendance:

Thank you for your commitment to your child's regular school attendance. Consistent routines, sleep schedules, and limitations on the use of technology are so important for learning and well-being. We appreciate your effort to get your child to school ready to learn.

Please maintain your child's attendance throughout the winter season. Coming to school helps your child build relationships, learn, and feel safe. Here is a link to the school calendar. If your child must miss school for a pre-planned absence of two or more days, please complete this form and give it to Ms. Berube or Ms. Taylor in the main office.
