This week your student will be brining home an attendance pledge. We're encouraging "Absence Free in 2023" and hope you all will join us. Please go over the pledge with your child, sign and return it, and put it to use. This is a chance for you to start over with a clean slate next year and we have lots of prizes for you to win. If you are successful with the Absence Free pledge, City Bank is giving us a gift card for you, Mythical Pizza will treat you to a free small pizza and Charm City Snowballs will give your student a free snowball to sweeten the deal. Please take advantage of this rewarding opportunity.
