In November, we pay tribute to Native American Heritage Month. The enduring legacy of indigenous peoples, reflected in their vibrant cultures and historic achievements, reminds us that they have played a valuable part in shaping our nation.
Thank you for helping us recognize this important month.
Families, we’re asking all of us to pay close attention to the time students are absent this school year. Even missing just a couple days per month can add up to 10% of the entire year. That’s a lot of time missing out on key learning opportunities.
Let’s combat chronic absenteeism together. If you need assistance, contact your child’s school office at any time. #AttendanceMatters

A little encouragement goes a long way! 🚌🎒
