๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿญ Today we celebrated an amazing group of 34 students! ๐ŸŽ‰

These kiddos havenโ€™t been absent for not one, but TWO six weeks straight! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ฏ
To celebrate their awesome attendance, we threw a popsicle party! ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ˜„

At Reno Elementary, Attendance Matters! ๐Ÿซโœจ
We want families to understand just how important it is for students to attend school every day. Not only is attendance required by law, but itโ€™s also essential for student success โ€” students can only learn and grow when theyโ€™re here!

Last year, Reno Elementary missed out on receiving two academic designations that we may have qualified for if our attendance rate had been higher. Our attendance dropped significantly during the fourth and fifth six weeks (after Winter Break), and we want to work together to prevent that from happening again this year.

๐ŸŽฏ Our Attendance Goal for the 2025-2026 school year: 96%
So far this year our attendance rate has been:
1st Six Weeks: 94%
2nd Six Weeks: 96.35% โ€” We met our goal! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Weโ€™re so proud of this improvement and want to keep the momentum going! While we understand that students may occasionally need to miss school due to illness or emergencies, we want to encourage families to prioritize attendance whenever possible. Every day counts! ๐Ÿ’›
