At Pleasant Hill, we LOVE when our students show up! ❤️ Attendance is one of the leading factors in student success, and we want to celebrate those students who make being present a priority each day.

Every Monday (or Thursday this week!) we will place the names of all students who had perfect attendance during the previous week onto a random prize wheel. We will spin the wheel and select one winner from each grade level to earn a spot in the “Eagles Nest” for outstanding attendance that week! 🦅✨

Keep showing up, working hard, and soaring high, Eagles! We can’t wait to recognize more students throughout the year.

This week, students will be bringing home their Non-Traditional Instruction Day (NTID) Packets. These packets look a little different this year for our elementary students!

Each packet includes a letter with detailed instructions to help guide students and families through the activities. We have made an intentional effort to streamline the assignments and make them easier to complete while still providing meaningful learning opportunities when we are unable to attend school in person.

Our goal is to keep students learning and engaged on days when school buildings are closed, while making the process as simple and family-friendly as possible.

If you have any questions about the packet or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher. We are here to help!
Thank you for your partnership and support in your child's education. 🦅📚
