Today in gym class, a few of our students stepped up, took a chance, and made the impossible shot! The crowd went wild, the smiles were HUGE, and the confidence boost was even bigger. Kaden selected 10 extra minutes of gym time. Cruz and Maylen both selected prizes from the treasure box!

Second Semester Starts Monday, January 12 – Let’s Start Strong!
As we begin the second semester, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on attendance. Every single day in school matters for student learning, relationships, and future success.
📌 Did you know? A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of the school year—that’s just 2 days per month. Under Ohio law, all absences count (excused and unexcused).
🎯 STRIVE FOR 5 – Every Day Counts! (Students should miss no more than 5 days all year, if possible.)
💡 How families can help: ✔️ Make daily attendance a priority ✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the day if your child is absent ✔️ Send a written note, email, or doctor’s slip when your child returns ✔️ Reach out if challenges arise—we are here to help and support your family.
📚 When students are here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together to make second semester our strongest yet!
✨Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
