Supporting our SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS - Safe, Respectful, Responsible
As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to reach out to discuss an important matter. Recently, we have noticed an increase in instances of disrespectful or aggressive behavior among some of our students. While the majority of our students continue to uphold the school's values of respect, responsibility, and safety, it's crucial that we address this trend to ensure a positive and safe environment for everyone.
As a school community, we believe that fostering a culture of respect and understanding is a shared responsibility. That's why I'm writing to ask for your support in reminding your child about our school's behavioral expectations and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.
Here are some ways you can help reinforce these expectations at home:
-
Discuss the Importance of Respect: Talk with your child about the value of treating others with respect, including peers, teachers, and school staff.
-
Review the School Code of Conduct: Take some time to review our school's rules and expectations of safe, respectful, responsible. This can help clarify the expectations for behavior and the consequences for not meeting them.
-
Encourage Positive Communication: Remind your child to use positive language and effective communication skills, especially when resolving conflicts or disagreements.
-
Promote Responsibility and Accountability: Encourage your child to take responsibility for their actions and understand that their behavior affects the school community.
Our goal is to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all students as we finish the school year. We will be working closely with students, teachers, and staff to reinforce positive behavior and address any instances of disrespect or aggression promptly.
Thank you for your support and partnership. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. We value your involvement in our school community, and together, we can help our students succeed.
WIth thanks,
Melissa Fletcher

Attendance
Quarter 1 through Quarter 3 Attendance: 22students in all
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first 3 nine weeks of school.
Quarter 2 Overall Attendance: 131 students with PERFECT ATTENDANCE
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first nine weeks of school.
Quarter 1 Overall Attendance: 134 students with PERFECT ATTENDANCE
This means that these students were not tardy and were present every single day for the entire first nine weeks of school.
If your child has 3 or more tardies, the school will call to conference to make a plan on how we can improve and arrive at school on time. If tardies become a concern, there will be activities that you will complete as a family at home.
Attendance Guideline:
The limit is 10 unexcused absences in a year. A Truancy Prevention Plan is required after 5 unexcused absences. This allows open communication and a plan to help resolve any issue.
Our campus goal is to increase our overall attendance by 1% per our Campus Improvement Plan. To help us meet this goal, Colt will recognize student perfect attendance every 9 weeks, award a weekly "Golden Present" to the grade level with the most students "present" that week, and report attendance to parents through the Smore newsletter.
More information regarding attendance.

This can be a special time to visit with their child about their day or to bring lunch from your favorite place if you would like to! Visitors must sit at a table separate from the lunch tables to eat lunch as we do not allow visitors to sit at student tables. At this time we are asking that they not bring any friends with them to the table when they sit with their families.
