Birthday Lunch This Week!!
If your child had a birthday during the months of Feb., March, or April, we will be having a birthday lunch in their honor on Thursday, April 15th.We hope you can join your child for lunch!
I issued a challenge to the students today.We are entering a crucial part of the school year for students.Next week is the Westest2 Writing Assessment.We have 24 days to the Westest2 Written Assessment and only 38 days of school left.I challenged the students to work hard to the next 38 days, to do their best on the two upcoming tests, and to be in attendance and on time every day.I don’t think these are unattainable goals.The students will be the ones that benefit the most from this effort.I also challenge the parents to have the students here and on time daily and expecting students to do their best work of the school year.I hope you will all accept these challenges!
EXCUSED ABSENCES
Parents – If your child is absent from school, please send in either a written excuse or one from the doctor.The school can only accept 5 hand written excuses per semester.All other absences have to be excused by a doctor.If you have too many unexcused absences, you may be questioned about it by the attendance director. If the school has too many unexcused absences, we may be questioned by the state department.Please help us keep the number of unexcused absences down by turning in an excuse each time your child is absent.Thank you for your cooperation!
