We’re almost to Christmas break ... and these next few weeks really matter. We know this time of the year is busy - holiday events, family plans, and colder weather can make mornings tough. But when students are in school, on time, every day, they are:
📚 Keeping up with learning instead of feeling stressed trying to catch up
🤝 Staying connected with friends and teachers instead of feeling left out
🧠 Building strong habits that will help them all the way through high school and beyond
🎯 Finishing the semester strong so they can enjoy break without worry
Every day between now and Christmas break is packed with important classwork, projects, and activities. When students miss even a few days, it can be hard to make up the work and the confidence.
Let’s work together to finish strong before break, so our students can walk out the door on the last day feeling proud, confident, and ready to relax.
✅ Attendance today builds their opportunities tomorrow. Thank you for all you do to get them here! 💙
