"Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow!" Attendance challenge is here!

Starting Tuesday, September 8, through Tuesday, October 20, students who achieve perfect attendance (no absences, no lateness, and no early dismissals — even if excused) will be automatically entered into prize drawings at the end of the challenge.

Why does attendance matter? Every school day provides opportunities for students to learn, build relationships, develop routines, and stay connected to their school community. Consistent attendance helps students start the year strong and stay on track for success.

Students who meet the challenge requirements will be entered into drawings for exciting prizes, including:

☀️ Extra recess time

📚 Homework passes

🎁 Gift cards

🚲 Bicycles

🎮 Nintendo Switch & gaming gift card

🛴 Electric scooter with helmet

🎧 Beats/headphones

💡 A utility bill paid (up to $200 as a parent gift card)

✨ And much more!

Not all prizes will be offered at every grade level. Students will be entered into drawings for the prizes designated for their school level (elementary, middle, or high school).

This challenge is just the beginning! Throughout the school year, we'll be introducing additional attendance initiatives and opportunities for students to be recognized for showing up, being engaged, and building positive habits.

Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a priority. Together, we can help every student build the habits that support learning, achievement, and future success.

Joylette Hylick, Katherine Johnson's daughter, came to Cole Manor with her son who is a retired teacher to meet our students. She was very touched and inspired by the letters that our 3rd graders wrote during their Wit and Wisdom module about space. Joylette Hylick gave an amazing presentation to our students and we were so lucky to meet her!
