📖🌟 BIS Celebrates Daily Attendance: A Key to Student Success! Hey, BIS community! We’re thrilled to highlight a cornerstone of academic success: consistent school attendance. Every day your child comes to school, they’re building habits that pave the way for their future achievements. Here’s why daily attendance is so crucial: Consistent Learning: Every lesson builds on the last, and missing even one day can create gaps that are tough to fill. Engaged Participation: Daily attendance ensures students are actively participating in discussions, activities, and collaborative projects. Positive Habits: Regular attendance fosters responsibility and commitment, essential traits for future endeavors. Remember, every day counts, and each student’s presence makes a difference in our vibrant learning environment. Let’s work together to make sure every student can say, “I was there!” 🌟 Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with learning, growth, and perfect attendance! 📖🌟

🌟 We are thrilled to celebrate our latest Positive Behavior Referral recipients for their exceptional behavior and dedication to making our school a better place. We are so proud of you, keep up the amazing work!
