Hello, Presumpscot Community!
It has been a great week at Presumpscot. We loved seeing everyone at student led conferences. Thank you for taking the time to come in and listen to your students share and celebrate their learning.
Attendance:
Speaking of learning, research points to attendance as being one of the most important indicators of whether or not a student will complete high school. Although high school seems like it is far away, we have to start preparing students for this transition in elementary school. Chronic Absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of school, whether the absence is excused or unexcused. By the end of the year, if a student missed 17.5 days or more, the student is considered chronically absent. If your student reaches the 10% threshold, we will reach out to you and talk about an attendance plan. Attendance matters. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Pre-K Enrollment 2024-2025:
Pre-K enrollment is closing soon. If you want your Pre-K student to attend PRS, we have spots, but they will be given to students from neighboring communities, so act fast. If you know of a family who has a four year old, please let them know.
Rescheduling Movie Night:
Due to Ramadan, we are not holding the movie night on March 22. We want to make sure this is an inclusive event, so the FTO is moving it to April 26 from 5:45 - 8:00 pm.
