Good Evening Families,
We have an exciting couple of weeks ahead with several opportunities for families!
Our quarter 1 family nights are this week for Upper El and Lower El, Primary family night is next Thursday. We hope you’ll join us for learning and connection. For more details, see the invitation that was sent out on Thursday.
Join the PTA work session on Tuesday, just after morning arrival, in the media center. Finally, you’re invited to observe our Peace Parade on Friday morning. Each year, we hold a Peace Parade to honor International Peace Day.
September is ATTENDANCE month, and I want to highlight the importance of making sure your child is at school, on-time, every day.
The first 30 minutes at GWM–did you know in the first half-hour of school, students engage in our social-emotional learning curriculum, and then review and kick-off their work cycle information? When a student is late to school, they often miss this important time to set themselves up for a successful day!
Regular school attendance impacts long-term outcomes. The research shows a strong correlation between regular school attendance and on-track high school graduation! Our goal for every student is to graduate high school college or career ready, and attendance now matters!
Have a great week and we hope to see you around George Watts Montessori soon!
