There are 175 attendance days in the school year and at the end of next week, your child will have finished 81 of those days!
When we look back at those first 81 days, we see more than just grades and assignments. We see the full human experience!! Middle school is a unique social laboratory where students of varying ages are learning to navigate life together.
We have seen incredible highs: new friendships, genuine belly laughs in the hallways, and moments of pride. But we also acknowledge the lows: the tears, the fears of fitting in, and the inevitable friction that comes with growing up.
Both sides of this coin are valuable. The smiles remind us why we are here, and the struggles teach our students resilience. As we head into the break, let’s celebrate the fact that your children are navigating this complex social world and coming out stronger on the other side.
