If children don’t show up for school regularly, they miss out on fundamental reading and math skills and the chance to build a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers.
Preliminary data from a California study found that children who were chronically absent in kindergarten and 1st grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of 3rd grade.

Showing up to school every day is important for student’s well-being, and provides them
with opportunities to learn, achieve and to reach for their dreams. Make sure to send your
children to school if they are generally healthy and well and are participating in usual day
to day activities. If you don’t know whether to send your child to school, or have specific
concerns regarding your child’s health, please make sure to contact your child’s
healthcare provider, a local urgent care or the school nurse.

Our A.L.P. program organized a school wide mock election today. Students from kindergarten all the way to seniors voted in the mock election. A.L.P. students served as poll workers throughout the day checking in voters, assisting voters, and distributing stickers. If your student makes it home with an “I Voted” sticker please check it out. Fun fact, it was designed by one of our EMS students, Hunter Heitman. His sticker won the sticker contest last year and will be available for adults in Lincoln County on election day as well. Hopefully all of our students learned something about the election process today.
