ATTENDANCE AWARENESS: Happy Attendance Awareness Month! Did you know that missing just two days of school each month means that you are chronically absent? That’s right, just missing two days is a big deal. Why? Missing a day of school is like missing 8 TV shows that everyone else is talking about! When you return to the classroom, you’ve missed what everyone else did the day before and you are lost. After a while, these missed days add up. Coming to school every day is vital to your success. Attend today; achieve tomorrow!
HEALTH ROOM: The Health Room will be performing mandating screenings for the remainder of the week, so the health room will be closed except for emergencies and daily scheduled visits. Grade 8 screenings will be completed today and we will start the Grade 6 screenings. On Wednesday, Grade 6 screenings will resume. Grade 7 screening will be Thursday and Friday. Thank you!!
LUNCH: Please clear your lunch trays using the trash cans and then stack the styrofoam trays on the tables. This will help us reuse waste and do our part for the environment. Remember to think global and act local.
