🦅 Our School-Wide Attendance Program: "The Eaglet's Nest" has begun! 🦅
⭐️ This positive behavior intervention rewards entire classrooms for excellent daily attendance.
🪹 The Setup: Each classroom is assigned an "eaglet" and a ladder to climb toward their respective grade level's "eagle's nest."
🪜 Moving Up: To advance their eaglet one step up the ladder, the classroom must achieve perfect attendance for that day.
📢 Daily Announcements: Every afternoon, the principal will publicly announce the classrooms with ideal attendance that get to move their eaglet.
🏆 The Reward: When a class successfully lands their eaglet in the nest: The entire class earns a special reward (e.g., extra recess, class snack). A new eaglet is placed at the bottom of the ladder to reset the challenge.

Yesterday, several High School students visited Davenport to read to our first graders. It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved! Our young learners truly enjoyed the stories and the opportunity to interact with the older students, who served as great role models. A heartfelt thank you to the High School students and staff who helped make this meaningful activity possible. Experiences like these help strengthen the connection between our schools and inspire a love of reading in our students.
