#LuckytoBeHere
Weโre excited to keep the momentum going from Be Here Day with our March attendance initiativeโLucky to Be Here! Throughout the month, schools will be celebrating great attendance with fun activities, classroom challenges, and special incentives to encourage students to be present and engaged every day.
Elementary classrooms will track attendance with posters and gold star stickers, while secondary students can participate in Attendance BINGO. Schools may also offer additional rewards to recognize students for making attendance a priority.
We know that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness, but when students are healthy, we want to see them in school, learning and growing. Thank you for supporting your studentโs attendanceโbecause every day matters!
#BeHereAlamo

๐ฃFamilies, we want your feedback!
As part of our commitment to improving student attendance, we launched the Be Here Alamo campaign to build a culture of engagement and regular attendance. Now, weโre seeking your feedback!๐ฅฐ
Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey to share your insights on your awareness of the campaign. Your input will be invaluable in shaping our future efforts.

๐๐ Kindness Month is almost over. We hope that you are getting the message about
passing kindness on. When we do kind things for people, they feel so good about what
we did that they often do kind acts for others. As kindness is passed on from one person
to another, an outward ripple effect is created, like a raindrop that falls into water. In this
way, one Random Act of Kindness can be passed on and on, bringing happiness to
many others. ๐
Anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, โNever believe that a few caring
people canโt change the world. For, indeed, thatโs all who ever have.โ
We also canโt forget about being kind to ourselves. We also have to make sure we take
care of our mind and body so that we are the best version of ourselves to be kind to
others. ๐๐
This week, letโs make sure we are being kind to ourselves.
Thanks to all the students and staff for helping to make this a great month! Now, letโs all
work together to pass the kindness on throughout our school and into our community.
