📚 What Is Chronic Absenteeism?
Chronic absenteeism means a student misses 10% or more of the school year.
🗓️ That’s about 18 days total
📆 Or just 2 days a month
➡️ All absences count—even excused ones.
Every child deserves the chance to learn and feel connected.
Missing school can make it harder to:
📖 Keep up with reading and math
🤝 Build friendships and routines
🌱 Feel confident and included
Every school day matters for every student.

Happy Math Monday! Mrs. Hickman's 1st grade class is practicing equations with missing addends. 8 + ? = 11. They used bean bags and hooks hoops to model their places and numbers in their equations. They also used fact families to help them solve!

This year, students will learn about the scientific process through the adventures of Zoey and Sassafras as they help an injured baby dragon. Zoey and Sassafras will ask, "What do dragons eat?" and hypothesize: Worms? Apples? Cereal? Marshmallows? It will take some experimenting to find out! This adorable chapter book invites families to cozy up and share in the delightful act of reading together. Thank you, Title 1 for funding this interactive family literacy event!
Attention WCPS families: With temperatures low, WCPS wants to remind our students and their families to be safe near bodies of water that form ice this time of year. Remember, the ice on ponds, storm water retaining areas, and canals is never strong enough to allow any human to walk on them. Keep the below safety tips in mind for winter water safety.
• Do not walk, skate, or play on frozen bodies of water. A good rule to follow is there is no such thing as a sate thickness of ice in our area.
• Keep pets and children away from ice-covered bodies of water.
Animals are particularly at risk of falling through thin ice.
• Educate children. Tell kids about the dangers of playing near frozen bodies of water and reinforce the importance of never venturing out on the ice.
• Report dangerous conditions. If you see anyone venturing onto the ice, immediately call 91l and inform local authorities.
