Lunch is provided.
Students and families, we’re proud of your commitment to being present and ready to learn each day! Establishing a regular routine from the very start of the school year is so important. Research shows that missing just 2-4 days in the first month can predict chronic absence for the rest of the year. Let’s keep showing up strong and setting ourselves up for success!
#EveryDayCounts! Let’s make next week another great one by being in class, on time, and ready to learn! 💪 #AttendanceMatters #DeSotoStrong
