Parents & Guardians,
In these uncertain times, one thing remains constant—our commitment to your child’s education and well-being. Regular, on-time attendance is more important than ever. It provides the structure, stability, and learning opportunities children need to succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally.
When students show up to school every day, they:
✅ Build positive habits for future success
✅ Strengthen friendships and social skills
✅ Gain essential knowledge and skills for lifelong learning
Together, we can ensure our children have the best foundation for success. Let’s make daily attendance a priority and set them up for a bright future! 🌟
