Regular student attendance encouraged; letters home to note habitual absences

It’s important for students to make and keep good attendance habits from the very first day of school to have a successful school year. 

Students who attend school regularly perform better academically and are more likely to graduate from high school than students who are chronically absent (defined as missing 10% or more of school days, excused or not). Unfortunately, one in three Colorado students are chronically absent, according to the Colorado Department of Education.  

Introducing PSD’s new director of Curriculum and Instruction

During her first teaching assignment Amanda Kreiger realized that a career in education was the right path for her. 

“I enjoyed interacting with students and hearing their thoughts and ideas. I watched students have that “ah ha” moment during class discussions, and I was hooked,” she said.

Kreiger joined the 51风流 team in July as the new director of the Curriculum and Instruction Department. In her role, she hopes to blend her love of learning into her work and foster an environment where all perspectives are welcome.
