Hello NJES families and friends,
One of our school's focuses this year is on improving school attendance. We know families work hard to make sure their child is at school, and sometimes life gets in the way. That is why we are committed to working with you to find solutions whenever possible. To support this, we'll be sharing weekly tips, facts, and resources.
This Week's Fact: Chronic Absenteeism
What it is: A child is considered "chronically absent" if they miss 10% or more of the school year. Missing just two days a month, for any reason, can put a student at risk.
Why it matters: It can negatively impact your child's learning and social development.
How we can help: The Communities in Schools partnership at NJES offers support to families. If you are struggling with attendance related issues, please contact Addison Tucker at addison.tucker@k12.wv.us so we can work together to find a solution.
Thank you for everything you do to support your child's education!

In an effort to better support families we will be handing out school supplies and backpacks. We will also be discussing i-Ready, which will be replacing Aims Web testing in our school this year. Students are welcome, and are invited to play games in the gym. We look forward to seeing all of our families!
