Monday, August 19th–First Day of School and 12:30 Dismissal

 

Monday is our first day of school!! It is a 12:30 dismissal day. Please make sure your child knows how they are getting home and let the teacher know through Remind, or if you already have your agenda book, a note. Thanks!!

Afterschool Begins on Tuesday, August 20th

 

Afterschool begins on Tuesday, August 20th. Students will report to the cafeteria in grades 2-5. First graders will be taken by a teacher to the cafeteria.

Please refrain from using the playground from 3:30 – 6:00 PM – Afterschool is not under Haywood County School guidelines, but is under different government regulations. They aren’t allowed to play on the playground if other students that aren’t in afterschool are on it.

Please swing by the school to get an application.

We Can’t Wait to See Your Child–Attendance Matters😃

 

Did you know school attendance all over North Carolina has been declining since Covid? Why Daily Attendance Matters:

  1. Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
  2. Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
  3. Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
  4. Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
  5. Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
