Attendance Popsicle Treat

We encourage all students to attend school daily for the remainder of the school year to experience all the fun activities and get the most academic learning to be ready for the next grade level. The grade level with the highest attendance, excluding excused absence and excused tardies, for each week beginning April 15th through May 17th will earn a popsicle treat. The classroom with the highest attendance will earn a special surprise. To qualify, students must be present all day and arrive before 8:30 am. We cannot wait to see our daily attendance improve!
