ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Regular student attendance plays a critical role in our collective mission to ensure every student achieves their fullest potential. Why Attendance Should Be a Top Priority:
1. Academic Achievement: Regular attendance is fundamental to student success. Each school day is a building block in the learning process. Consistent attendance helps students keep up with coursework, understand key concepts, and perform better academically.
2. Social and Emotional Development: School is a place where students develop crucial social skills and emotional resilience. Frequent absences can hinder their ability to form strong relationships with peers and teachers, impacting their overall development.
3. Future Opportunities: Consistent attendance is linked to higher graduation rates and better long-term outcomes, including higher education and career prospects. By prioritizing attendance, we are directly contributing to students' future success.
4. School Culture: Regular attendance fosters a positive school culture and enhances the learning environment for everyone. It creates a sense of community and ensures that all students have equal access to the resources and support they need.
Community School Corner
Join our Community School's Committee!
What is the Community School Advisory Committee (CSAC)? The CSAC is a collaborative group made up of parents, school staff, community partners, and school leaders. Together, we meet regularly to review school needs, discuss programs, and guide decisions that directly impact our students and families.
Why Join and Step into Leadership?
--Shape School Programs: Provide input on key school initiatives, family resources, after-school programs, and student attendance goals.
--Represent Our Diverse Community: Ensure that parent perspectives and cultural backgrounds are reflected in school decisions.
--Develop Leadership Skills: Take on officer or committee lead roles to collaborate directly with school administrators and community partners.
--Strengthen Home-School Connection: Build strong relationships with other parents and educators dedicated to student success. Meeting & Participation Details. We welcome all parents and caregivers—no prior leadership experience is necessary!
Next Meeting Date: 12/2/26 Time: 3:00 pm Location: Room 2 Language & Accommodations: Childcare available
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
November is Family Engagement Month! It is a time to celebrate the important role families play in their children’s learning and to build strong partnerships between families and schools. Over 35 years of research shows that when families and schools work together, students are more likely to be successful in school. Throughout the month of November, we celebrate and strengthen family-school partnerships by listening to families, building on the strengths, knowledge, and experiences they bring to our school communities, and finding meaningful ways to work together for student success. When families and schools come together as one team, we are stronger together.
