Hello Goldsmith Families!

Did you know that every week and every month the classrooms compete for BEST attendance?!

The districtwide attendance goal is 96% which averages out to approximately one student absent in each classroom daily. We encourage our students and teachers to strive for this goal. Each day they reach the goal they earn a blue ticket as part of our PBIS system . And if they reach the 96% goal for the month they get a special attendance prize!

The October Attendance Prize was SWEET TREATS and 9 different classes earned their choice of cookies, brownies, muffins, rice krispy treats, or fruit snacks. Congratulations!

The classes with best attendance in November will earn the chance to throw a pie in a staff member's face! Students in the winning classes who have perfect attendance this month will be the ones to throw the pies.

We know that the change in weather sometimes brings about a lot of sniffles and sickness. Please review the health policies about when it is appropriate to send your child to school or keep them home. This webpage also has more information about all of our attendance policies - https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/o/goldsmith/page/attendance-polices

Thanks for working together to promote positive attitudes about attendance and for making attendance a priority for your student(s) so they can continue to GROW and GLOW academically, socially, and emotionally.
