Help Your Rocket Be an Attendance H.E.R.O!
We need every Rocket here, every day they are healthy, ready to learn, on time! Attendance is recognized and celebrated every month at our Rocket Pride assemblies! Students with perfect attendance each month (0 unexcused tardies, 0 absences) receive a certificate and participate in an Attendance H.E.R.O.s ice cream celebration. Students with 0 unexcused absences and tardies each month receive a coupon for a free treat from the cafeteria. Studies show that students who attend school regularly become stronger readers, achieve higher scores on assessments, and feel a greater sense of belonging in their school. Thank you for supporting healthy attendance habits!
Be a Guest Reader!
Contact your child's teacher to schedule a time to be a guest reader for the class. Reading aloud helps foster the development of stronger reading skills and an enjoyment of reading.
Please contact Mrs. Valente at 315-852-3400 x 7122 or via email at valente@deruytercentral.org with questions.
