HIT THE ATTENDANCE TARGET! ๐ŸŽฏ

This week, we're aiming for a perfect attendance streak! Coming to school every day gives students more opportunities to practice skills, complete assignments, ask questions, work with classmates, and build confidence.

Think of attendance like hitting the bullseye: consistency matters!

Aim for 5 days this week!
Arrive on time!
Stay for the entire school day!
Keep your attendance streak going!

And remember, students with perfect attendance for the entire month of September will be entered into a drawing for a 2-pack of Knottโ€™s Berry Farm tickets, courtesy of Think Together!

Keep aiming high. Keep showing up!

๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽถ Empathy took center stage at Lake Marieโ€™s Masked Singer PBIS Assembly!

Students learned about the importance of understanding and supporting othersโ€”and they put it into action by encouraging the masked singers when they felt nervous to perform. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ‘

What a great example of showing empathy and being there for one another!
