STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING ๐ช๐
When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
โ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next weekโit makes a difference for everyone.

Our 2nd graders are at it again!
Our incredible 2nd graders have been working hard and showing what it means to be curious, creative learners! In math, theyโve been exploring a variety of strategies to solve problems, and even taking their learning outside-one student used leaves at recess to build arrays!
In writing, theyโre crafting thoughtfulย ย opinion essays, learning how to express their ideas clearly and confidently.ย ย In social studies, theyโve been traveling the globe (through books and maps!) as they learn about the continents and oceans.
Theyโve also been visiting the Media Center to grow their love of reading and discover new books. ๐
Keep up the amazing work, 2nd graders- weโre so proud of you!
