Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read!
Research shows there are significant benefits to reading EVERY day. Including Saturday and Sunday. J Have conversations with your child about what they are reading? What type of books they like? What are they currently reading? What is their book about? What surprised them? What are the characters like? How do they know? For older grades, how do the characters change? Why do they thing the characters change?
We want our Blair Eagles devouring books!
Attendance is IMPORTANT
Students need to be at school before 7:40am otherwise they are marked tardy. One of the grade level requirements for going on to the next grade level is 90% attendance. Unless your child is sick with fever or an illness preventing the student from attending school, please ensure he/she is in attendance. Students are working hard to maintain perfect attendance to be recognized at the end of each 9 Wks. Students will be recognized with a picture on the perfect attendance bus as well as be invited to a celebration event at the end of the instructional day.
If your child needs to be absent, please remember to let us know AND send a written note, doctor’s note, etc. to verify the absence.
