Tuesday the 28th is picture day. All students will have their pictures taken even if they are not ordering pictures. This is the picture we use for student IDs and the yearbook. Picture packets will be handed out at lunch and pictures can be ordered online at www.lifetouch.com Our picture day ID is GC218385Y0. Tuesday night is also back to school night. All families are encouraged to attend from 5:30-7:30. You will be following your students schedule so you get a chance to meet all of her/his teachers. Your student will be given a copy of this form to fill out for you so you know where to go. Please be in your students S4S class at 5:30 on Tuesday so you don't miss out. Drop in childcare is available. Please check your child in front of the main office if you need child care during back to school night.
As a school we have set an attendance goal of 95% this year. To help students and families work towards this goal, we are asking folks to Strive for Five. This means we're encouraging all students and families to strive for 5 or less absences this year. This number does not include absences for school related activities such as volleyball games or a band contest. This does include any absences related to appointments, vacations, illness, or other non-school reasons. We understand that students may get sick and we encourage students to stay home when they are ill. We also understand that there may be times when a student does need to miss school for family reasons. What we are asking is that to the maximum extent possible, have your student in school, ready to learn every day. If it's possible to make an appointment at 3:30 or 4:00 instead of during the school day, please do so. If a student can come and before and after a 10:00 appointment, we'd love to have them. If you can adjust your vacation plans so they do not extend school holidays, that would be great. Despite your and our best efforts, there is no replacement for first time instruction and the support our teachers give students every day and when students are absent it impacts their learning. We're excited to work with you as we Strive for Five!
