Federal Impact Survey Forms

Federal funds are provided to the school district based on the number of students enrolled in our schools whose parents/guardians reside or work on Federal Property or are on active duty in the military. All caregivers need to return survey forms regardless of where you are employed. Forms were sent home last week. Please return the completed form to your child’s teacher drop it off at the school office Monday-Friday between 7:30-4:00. See below for more information about the forms. Thank you!

We started learning more about Habit #3 – Put First Things First. CLICK HERE to learn how you can support this habit at home. You can also WATCH THIS with your child(ren).

Our Character strength of the month is MOTIVATION!

School attendance is a predicator of job success in the future. Please ensure your child(ren) is at school, on time, every day! For every day of school missed, it takes 3 days for children to try and catch up. Please plan vacations, Dr. and Dentist appointments during school breaks.

School attendance is a powerful predictor of student outcomes. In fact, irregular attendance can be a better predictor of whether students will drop out of school before graduation than test scores, according to the US Department of Education.

The correlation between attendance and dropout rates has important ramifications that go beyond the classroom. Compared to their peers who graduate, students who fail to complete their high school education are more likely to live in poverty, suffer poor health, struggle to maintain a job, and become involved in the criminal justice system.

Our goal for average attendance is 96%. Last week our average was 93.27%. Our school is currently ranked #2 for good attendance! Congratulations for your heard work and dedication! Below are the classrooms that met or exceeded the goal!
