Food Drive Success!

On Tuesday, October 21st, our parents were invited to attend a Title III Professional Development. We are so thankful for our awesome parents who show up and share their hearts and viewpoints diligently.

Ridgeland Elementary student Christian Roulhac is cashing in on his Perfect Attendance Award with a free haircut at Jay’s Barbershop!

Students who maintained perfect attendance for the month earned a complimentary haircut or hairstyle from our amazing local barbers and beauticians. 💈💇‍♀️

A huge thank you to our community partners for donating their time and talent to support our students! Your generosity motivates our scholars to show up, learn, and grow every day. 🙌

📚 Why Attendance Matters (especially in early education):

🧠 Builds strong learning habits — Regular attendance helps children develop consistency, focus, and responsibility early on.

🤝 Supports social and emotional growth — Being present builds friendships and a sense of belonging in the classroom.

📈 Improves academic success — Research shows students who attend school regularly perform better in reading and math.

🎯 Sets the foundation for lifelong success — Good attendance habits in elementary school lead to better outcomes in middle and high school.

Let’s keep encouraging our students to show up every day — because every day counts! 💪✨
