D114 Weekly Family Update 1/30/23

         

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you are doing to get your kids to school each day! Our attendance data is slowly improving, and that's because of YOU!

Please know that it's still SO important that your kids are with us each day. Over the next few weeks, we'll be checking in with a few mid-year assessments to help us know who may need more/different help and how we are doing as a system to make sure ALL our students learn at high levels. All this is in addition to the amazing teaching that happens each day, where our fabulous staff is always looking for ways to support all our kids to success!

ATTENDANCE EXPECTATIONS

I can't stress to you enough how important it is to have your kids in school. If they are not with us, they cannot learn all we want them to know. Please, please, please...be sure your kids come to school unless they are sick. Their absences negatively impact them, our schools, and our district as a whole. Thanks in advance for helping us bring back high levels of student attendance! See below for how absences add up!
