Dear Parents and Guardians,
As a school, we are at 90% attendance rate for this past week.
We must continue focusing on making attendance a priority as it directly impacts your child's achievement.
The School 21 goal is to be at or above 94% weekly. To reach this goal we need to have less than 10 students absent daily, we currently are at 35 students absent daily.
If you received an attendance letter from me in the mail and have over 6 absences, your child is on track to being Chronically Absent.
Please call the school if you have questions. I am confident that we can do better!
Sincerely,
Brian Gray
Principal of School 21

Today our students participated in a Veteran's Day Flag Ceremony. During the flag ceremony students joined in the Pledge of Allegiance and listened to the national anthem played by Jimi Hendrix. Following the anthem, we talked about the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. We spoke of the ability to be thankful and honor those who fight for our freedom and defend our nation.
Reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11th schools are closed as we celebrate Veterans Day.
