To our Rocket Students, Parents, and Faculty:
September is Attendance Awareness Month. This month counts as our first full month of school. Research shows that half of the students who miss 2 to 4 days in the first month of school go on to miss nearly a month of school for the academic year, and missing just 2 days a month equates to missing approximately 10 percent of the school year. Therefore, it is important that we start building a healthy and productive habit of coming to school each and every day right when school starts. During the week of September 19th through the 23rd, Round Hill Elementary will bring attendance awareness to our students and parents by promoting healthy school attendance habits by participating in Rocket Attendance Awareness Spirit Week.
