Congratulations, SGS students and families! We met our first 9-weeks attendance goal by maintaining an average daily attendance rate of over 95%!
School attendance is important! Research shows that students who miss more than 10% of school days (excused or unexcused) are at risk for falling behind. These students are considered chronically absent. Last year, 20% of SGS students were identified as being chronically absent. For the first 9 weeks of this school year, only 8% of SGS students were considered chronically absent. This is a tremendous improvement!
We have something fun planned for the end of the month to celebrate this accomplishment!
Want to learn more about why school attendance is so important? Vist the Attendance Works website, https://www.attendanceworks.org/chronic-absence/the-problem/.
Picture retakes will be November 9.
USD 507 is proud to announce that KSDE has recognized the district with Kansans Can Awards for graduation rate and post-secondary success, as well as the Commissioner's Award with Honors for exceeding our predicted post-secondary effectiveness rate!
A couple of weeks ago a boys necklace was found on the playground. If you have lost one, please call the office.
USD 507 students have the opportunity to experience the KDHE Mobile Health Lab on October 18. Students will learn about DNA, mosquitos, germs, microscopes, watersheds, and chromotagraphy. More information can be found on the attached flyer. This is an optional activity, and students must return a signed permission form to participate. If you need another permission form sent home, please let the classroom teacher or Mrs. Naylor know.
USD 507 Parent Teacher Conferences will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on October 19. There will be no school on this day. School resumes Tuesday, October 24.
