If you have gently used uniforms that you can no longer use, please consider donating them to the school to be shared with students who need help with uniforms next year.Every family who sends in a complete uniform (shirt and pants/shorts) will receive an Audubon Zoo Membership. Please place the clean uniform items in a bag, and label the bag with your child's name and grade level so we can be sure to get the membership to them. The items can be left in the box next to the front office labeled uniform donations on May 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The certificates will be given out on May 26th and 27th.


Si tienen uniformes usados que no van utilizar, considere donarlos a la escuela para compartirlos con los estudiantes que necesitan ayuda con los uniformes el próximo año. Cada familia que envíe un uniforme completo (camisa y/o pantalones/bermudas) recibirá una membresía del Zoológico Audubon.

Por favor coloque los artículos limpios del uniforme en una bolsa y etiqueta la bolsa con el nombre y el nivel de grado de su hijo para que podamos enviarles la membresía. Los artículos se pueden dejar en una caja al frente de la oficina frontal el 23, 24 y 25 de mayo. La caja está etiquetada donaciones de uniformes. Los certificados del zologico se entregarán los días 26 y 27 de mayo.

Daily school attendance is more important than ever.

Here is some helpful information from
Attendance Works:

​​Did You Know?
• Many absences, even in kindergarten, can cause children to fall behind in school.
• Missing just a day or two every month can make it harder to learn to read by the third grade.
• Students with too many absences struggle to catch up, even with take-home assignments.
• All families have hopes and dreams for their children. Being in school every day will enable children to do well in school, and graduate from high school ready for work or college.

What Can You Do?
• Develop a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Help your child lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
• Make sure your child has the required shots before school starts.
• Avoid missing school unless a child is truly sick and seek help if chronic illness is a challenge. Check with our school nurse or office staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child at home due to illness.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other families for advice on how to make her feel comfortable and excited about learning.
• Reach out to a family member, a neighbor, or another parent if you are having trouble getting your student to school.
• Arrange medical appointments when school is not in session.
• Avoid extended vacations when school is in session.
