📣 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!
💚 #StriveFor5 #EveryDayCounts #AttendanceMatters
By earning this important certification, these students have gained valuable credential points and taken a major step toward their future careers in education. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence truly shine!
This achievement not only opens doors for employment opportunities but also highlights their readiness to support and inspire future learners in the classroom. 🍎
Way to go—we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make!
