Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at camp this week! From climbing the rock wall ๐งโโ๏ธ to tie-dyeing shirts ๐จ and even getting hands-on with tarantulas and cockroaches ๐ท๏ธ๐, the adventure was non-stop. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the waterslide ๐ฆ, and we wrapped up the day with hilarious skits and dance-offs! ๐ถ Weโre so thankful for our students to have this opportunity to try new experiences and have fun with their friends and classmates. #morencibulldogs

One or two missed days a week might not seem like a lot, but lost time adds up over a studentโs educational career. Absences can also affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help students catch up. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance


Did you know you can improve your childโs attendance by reducing late arrivals and early checkouts? Every minute counts toward learning. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Establishing a bedtime and morning routine can go a long way toward being on time and in school every day. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Regularly missing school impacts students in numerous ways. Chronic absenteeism not only hurts high school students in the classroom, but creates poor attendance habits that carry over to college and the workforce. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Building good attendance habits early is key to staying on track throughout school. By middle school, absenteeism becomes a leading indicator of graduation. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Build the habit of good attendance early. Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Attending school regularly helps children feel better about schoolโand themselves. By building this habit early, students learn right away that going to school every day is important, helping them succeed in high school and beyond. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks. Missing 10%, or about 18 days, increases the chance that your student will not read or master math at the same level as their peers. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Students are considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year. This includes both excused and unexcused absences. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


๐ฝ๏ธ Students in Mrs. Sandusky's English class had a delightful experience sampling a variety of books in the library! They rotated between stations, exploring different genres and discovering new favorites.
