Fall (and a little rain 🌧️) is in the air!
Our calendar is stuffed this week with lots of amazing opportunities for our students! 🦁💙
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.
