🌟 Finish Strong, Wildcats! Attendance Matters in May! 🌟

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, every day counts! 📚

Even in May, learning is still going strong in our classrooms. Students are:
✔️ Building on skills learned all year
✔️ Finishing important projects and assessments
✔️ Preparing for a successful transition to the next grade

When students miss school, they miss out on these valuable opportunities and it can be hard to catch up. Consistent attendance helps students stay confident, connected, and ready for what’s next!

Let’s work together to finish the year strong 💙
✅ Be here
✅ Be on time
✅ Be ready to learn

Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success each and every day!

🌟 ¡Terminen con fuerza, Wildcats! ¡La asistencia es importante en mayo! 🌟

A medida que nos acercamos a la recta final del año escolar, ¡cada día cuenta! 📚

Incluso en mayo, el aprendizaje sigue en pleno desarrollo en nuestras aulas. Los estudiantes están:
✔️ Fortaleciendo las habilidades aprendidas durante todo el año
✔️ Terminando proyectos y evaluaciones importantes
✔️ Preparándose para una transición exitosa al siguiente grado

Cuando los estudiantes faltan a la escuela, pierden estas valiosas oportunidades y puede ser difícil ponerse al día. ¡La asistencia constante ayuda a los estudiantes a mantenerse seguros, conectados y listos para lo que sigue!

Trabajemos juntos para terminar el año con éxito 💙
✅ Estar presentes
✅ Llegar a tiempo
✅ Estar listos para aprender

¡Gracias por colaborar con nosotros para apoyar el éxito de su hijo/a todos los días!
