Here are some great facts about school attendance!
We had a celebration assembly yesterday at Dufur School to acknowledge many great successes from the 1st quarter of the school year. At one point, Rangers were recognized who had 91% or better attendance during the 1st quarter! Out of 40 school days in the first quarter, 260 students have maintained 91% or higher days present. To recognize this accomplishment all 260 names were put in a bag (those with 100% attendance got two tickets) for a chance to win a prize in a drawing. Several dining gift cards were awarded and the grand prize was a $100 Amazon gift card! Congratulations to each student who achieved this attendance status and to their families who support them!
Parents, this is just a reminder that students need to have shoes at school that they use only for PE. The School District makes it a priority to keep our gym floors in great condition, and using the right shoes for PE and athletic events is a key to helping us meeting that challenge! If you have any questions, please contact the school at 541-467-2509.
