Top 5 Classes - Attendance - Week Ending 2/21

These are our Top Five Classes for attendance last week.

1st Place - Mrs. Prall - 2nd Grade - 99.4% Attendance (1/2 Absence)
2nd Place - Mrs. Friddle - 2nd Grade - 98% Attendance (1.5 Absences)
3rd Place - Mr. Morton - 5th Grade - 98% Attendance (2 Absences)
4th Place - Mrs. Hurd - 4th Grade - 96% Attendance (4 Absences)
5th Place - Mrs. Kenner - Kindergarten - 96% Attendance (3 Absences)
*Teacher attendance also included in class averages.
*Number of absences are for the whole week.

Also, Team Lander/Rowland in 5th Grade only had 1 tardy all week long.



Why do we recognize top classes for attendance?
Consistent attendance at school (95% or better) is closely tied to both reading and math skills.  Good attendance looks like fewer than about 9 days absent in a year, or about 4 or 5 per semester.  Perfect attendance isn't super important, but consistent attendance is.  Research shows that kids with poor attendance (less than 90% or more than 18 absences in a year) are much less likely to be proficient in reading and math.  Poor attendance in upper elementary school and middle school are also correlated with the likelihood of dropping out of high school before graduation.  

We make a big deal about consistent attendance because consistent attendance matters to learning and success.

January 2020 Skyhawk Awards Lunch

4th Grade

We are proud of our Skyhawks.  These kids and some of their families and friends joined us for our Skyhawk Awards lunch in January.  They were selected for demonstrating character traits such as zest, perseverance, and gratitude, as well as for showing academic achievement or growth.  

Thanks to our fantastic Sacajawea families for raising great kids, and for letting us work with them each day.  It is a joy!
