Engineers, we’re working together to keep our attendance On Track for Success! Each school day, we’ll track our schoolwide attendance as we work toward our goal of 95% or higher. Remember—Be Here, You Matter! Every day at school is another step toward learning, growing, and success.

If we meet our challenge goal, we’ll celebrate in October with extra recess and a freezer pop! 🎉

Thank you, families, for helping our Engineers show up, learn, and stay on track!
