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!
