Education Matters!

As parents, you have the responsibility to make school a #1 priority for your child.  By making sure your child is in school every day, you ensure his or her opportunity to learn. Research indicates that when parents actively participate in their child's education, the quality of learning improves. Such participation also improves student test scores and creates an atmosphere that enhances student success.  Work missed during absences is difficult to make up because there is no substitute for active participation in daily classroom discussion and work.

One of the most valuable life skills a student can learn from his/her parent/guardian is the responsibility of arriving at school every day on time. This skill can easily be accomplished and will transfer as a valuable asset for the future. One of the most important times of the school day is the morning. This is a time for students to prepare for the day. Students can miss valuable instruction time by being late in the morning. The whole tone of a child’s school day is set in the first part of the day. Please help support your children in learning habits that will help them be successful at school and throughout life.

It is very important that our school families make education a top priority.  Please know that we will be monitoring attendance very closely.  You can find the consequences for excessive absences and tardies in the school handbook. 

The school is also working closely with all SAS Extracurricular Activities to ensure that education is our top priority.  If a child has an issue with attendance, work habits, and/or behavior,  then they will also have consequences. 

We appreciate your support in this matter.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Tucker.
