With Spring Break happening next week, it seems like this year is flying by; it’s already time to start planning for next year. We are holding our first Kindergarten Connect event next month. If you have an incoming kindergartner for the 26-27 school year, please join us! If you know anyone else who might be interested, please share the information with them. Kindergarten Connect will be on Thursday, 4/15 at 6:00. We will be sharing information about our kindergarten program, as well as how to enroll. We will also be answering ALL the questions and taking a tour of the building.
We are working hard to help every child learn, but it is a huge challenge when students don’t come to school regularly. We have seen great improvement over the last few weeks, especially in our Kindergarten, 1st, and 4th grade classes, and with individual students with whom we’ve been working closely. Congrats to everyone who is showing improved or already stellar attendance! Did you know that when children miss more than 2 days a month, or 17 days a year they are considered chronically absent? And missing more than 10% of the school year can make it harder to learn to read. We want the very best for our students and believe the best gift we can give them is a good education. If your child is struggling with attendance, please reach out to our school social worker, Darcy Wilde at dwilde@pps.net or at 971-716-5498.
