September is Attendance Awareness Month. Absenteeism is a lost opportunity to learn. We can’t afford to think of absenteeism as merely a lack of compliance with school rules. http://bit.ly/1oqfID7

Thanks for the positive sportsmanship from both schools!

‘Twas the night before school starts
And all through the town
Not a teacher was sleeping
For excitement abound.
The students all nestled
Asleep in their beds.
Knowing this school year will bring
So much knowledge for their heads.
Our scholars already know
That we go the distance
To insure we provide
Equity and Excellence!
