Since we didn’t need to use any emergency makeup days this year, the full week remains wide open for rest, gratitude, and perhaps a piece of pie or two. 🥧🦃✨

STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING 💪🍎
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.
✅ 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 week—it makes a difference for everyone.
