Attendance: Your Passport to Success! 🌍🐯✈️
We’re kicking off the 2025–26 school year with our first attendance update, and it’s a strong start! In Missouri, the state looks at the 90/90 rule when measuring regular attendance. This means students need to be present 90% of the time during 90% of the instructional year to stay on track.
Why does this matter? Students who meet the 90/90 rule are more likely to succeed academically, build strong connections at school, and develop the habits that prepare them for life after graduation. Every day in class adds up to a stronger future.

Critical Thinking: Growing Seeds, Growing Minds! 🌱🐯🔎
Ms. Ortega’s 5th graders are putting their Critical Thinking skills to work by testing what seeds really need to grow. With just a bag, water, air, and sunlight, they’re exploring how plants thrive without soil. It’s hands-on learning that challenges them to ask questions, make observations, and think like scientists.
Our Portrait of a Graduate isn’t just words; it’s alive in lessons like this.
