Dear Copperview Families,
November is here! We can’t believe we’ve been in school for a little over 2 months now. As we approach the end of our 1st trimester of school we want to stress the importance of attendance. As of right now, 31% of Copperview students’ attendance is considered “On-Track” or in good standing compared to the overall district’s 50.4% of students whose attendance is considered “On-Track”.
We realize some absences are for health or other reasons. But, when students are absent 2 or more days a month (or 18 days over the school year) they can fall far behind in what they learn. Excused and unexcused absences both mean missing classroom learning time. Absences can add up. Missing just two days every month puts students at risk of falling behind.
Some Attendance Tips:
Please let us know how we can best support you and your student so that they can show up for school on time every day. Let’s make it a great November! See below for important upcoming information. |

3. Reading improves concentration
4. Reading teaches children about the world around them
