🎉 ATTENDANCE MATTERS AT DES ARC ELEMENTARY! 🦅💚
We are SO proud of our 134 Eagles who had PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the month of August! 👏🎉 That means no absences, no tardies, and no early check-outs all month long! What an incredible accomplishment!
🍕 CLASS ATTENDANCE WINNER:
Congratulations to Mrs. Leigh Garth’s 4th Grade Class for having the highest attendance rate in the school for August! With an amazing 97.78% attendance rate, they are officially in the running for a class pizza party at the end of the semester! 🍕🏆
🍧 GRADE LEVEL ATTENDANCE WINNER:
A BIG shout-out to our Kindergarten Eagles for having the highest grade-level attendance percentage for August! 🎉 As a reward, Kindergarten will enjoy Popsicles with the Principal this Friday! 🍧🦅💚
❤️We also want to recognize that illnesses happen and some appointments simply cannot be avoided. We understand that perfect attendance can be difficult to achieve for an entire 9 weeks, semester, or school year, which is why we celebrate attendance one month at a time! Every month is a new opportunity to make attendance a priority and build those good habits.
⭐️Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and lead. Being here every day makes a difference!
Keep up the great work, Eagles! 🦅💚
