Attendance Matters

We had our first awards assembly of the year on Thursday.  We recognized students and staff who were here 95% of the time as well as students who received positive office referrals.  Mrs. Johnson took lots of pictures; hopefully those will show up on Facebook or a bulletin board near you.  Next month we will recognize students with perfect attendance for the first trimester.  We enjoyed a musical performance by kindergartners and third graders.  We hope to have musical performances at all of our assemblies this year.  We were pleased to see the parents who were able to attend.  Thanks for coming!

We announced the winners of our October Bingo Challenge.  Mr. Schmitz and Mr. Schechinger’s classes tied, so they both won a popcorn party.

For November we are participating in the Lysol Blue Ribbon Attendance Challenge.  They are offering $25,000 in prizes.  You can learn more about it on their website:  http://www.lysol.com/mission-for-health/schools/attendance-challenge
The focus of the challenge is on keeping healthy so we don’t miss school.

We will have an awards assembly each month.  We are currently working on the schedule for the rest of the year so parents have more notice of the date and time.  We would love to see more parents there to celebrate good attendance with us.
