North Adams Elementary School

📣 4th Quarter = Let’s Finish Strong!

As we begin the 4th quarter, 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 — NOTES are REQUIRED
✔️ If your family is planning a vacation during the school year, it must be approved by the building principal at least 1 week in advance
✔️ 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 this final quarter our strongest yet!
