🎉🏆 House Attendance Challenge Starts Monday, September 29th! 🏆🎉

Gator Families, get ready! Our House Attendance Challenge kicks off this Monday! Each day, we’ll track attendance by House and award bonus points to any House that reaches 100% attendance. Which House will come out on top? 🐊

Why does attendance matter? Because every day in school builds success!
🌟 Students who attend regularly are more likely to read on grade level by 3rd grade. This is a key milestone for future success.
🌟 Consistent attendance helps students build confidence, friendships, and strong learning habits that last a lifetime.
🌟 Kids who come to school every day are more likely to graduate high school and chase their dreams in college, careers, and beyond.

Let’s show our "Bessey Best" by being on time, present, and ready to learn each and every day! 💪✨

👉 Families, we need your help! Make sure your Gator is at school on time daily so their House can earn points AND set them up for success.
