Happy Friday!
Happy Friday~
One of the goals we have for this year is supporting students in thriving at school. That requires our learners to be at school.
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.
This month we continue to focus on the IB Learner Profile "Communicator"
The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are communicators. Students who are communicators understand and express ideas and information confidently and creatively in more than one language and in a variety of modes of communication. They work effectively and willingly in collaboration with others.
Have a great weekend ~

Healthy Attendance
