Weekly Newsletter for the week of May 18th - May 22nd

Last Week of School
I'm not sure about you, but I can't believe this is the last week of school! We have a full week of fun and engaging activities for our students this week! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you for sharing your kiddos with us this year!!

Ms. Cope

It's time to register for Pre-K and Kindergarten.

If you know any kiddos that will be going to Pre-K or Kindergarten next year, please let them know that it is time to register. This helps us prepare for the next school year. Please contact the school front office if you have any questions.

Student Attendance

We are also seeing more student absences than in previous years. Every day, our teachers provide crucial instruction from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. When a student is late, leaves early, or misses a full day, they miss valuable instruction that is difficult to make up. Please help us by scheduling appointments and other activities for after school whenever possible.

We are so grateful for your continued support and commitment to your child's education. Working together, we can ensure BonDeCroft remains a positive and productive learning environment for everyone.

Lost and Found
We are already seeing lots of items misplaced throughout the day by our students. Please write your child's name on/in their personal items (water bottles, lunch boxes, backpacks, hoodies, jackets, etc.)! This will help us get the items back to the right person when we find them.

Attendance Matters

Excuse Notes
Please remember to send in a note from the doctor or a parent note when your child is absent. Each child get 5 parent notes each year. Remember, your child can't learn the material if they are not in school. Please help us by scheduling appointments after school or during breaks. Attendance really does matter.

May Attendance Challenge
May perfect attendance challenge is underway. Students who do not miss a day in May will receive a special treat at the end of the month. Encourage and support your child to have perfect attendance this month. Try to schedule appointments after school or on breaks!

Attendance Procedures
Please make sure you send in a parent note or doctors note with your child when they return after an absence. You can send in a parent note for 5 days worth of absences. Any absence other than those must have a doctor or dentist note to be excused. Please remember, this is more about ensuring students are at school to receive the daily instruction from the teacher. Students can make up missing assignments, but they cannot get back the instruction the teacher provided that day. Also, leaving school early is considered a tardy, as well is coming in late. Instruction begins at 8:00am each day and does not end until 3:00pm. Please help us by limiting the time students miss from the classroom. We appreciate your support with this!
