Principal's Welcome
CLV Elementary
Greetings, Timberwolf Families! I am thrilled to have our students and families return to this wonderful learning community. As we embark on this exciting journey together this school year, I would like to take a moment to emphasize the critical role that attendance plays in your child's education.
Attendance is not just about showing up physically; it is about engaging in the learning process, building relationships, and fostering a sense of belonging. Research consistently shows that regular school attendance has a significant impact on a child's academic success and social development. When students are present in school, they have the opportunity to:
Learn Consistently: Regular attendance ensures that your child receives the instruction, practice, and reinforcement necessary to master essential skills and concepts. Missing school can lead to gaps in learning that may become harder to fill over time.
Participate Actively: Being present in the classroom allows students to actively participate in discussions, group activities, and hands-on learning experiences. These interactions contribute to a deeper understanding of the subject.
Build Relationships: School is not just about academics; it is also a place where children develop social skills and form friendships. Regular attendance helps students establish connections with peers and teachers, enhancing their overall school experience.
Establish Routine: Consistent attendance helps children establish a routine that promotes time management, responsibility, and discipline. These skills are crucial for success both in school and in later life.
Boost Confidence: Being present in the classroom enables students to highlight their abilities, receive positive feedback, and build their confidence. This confidence can extend beyond academics to other areas of their lives.
We understand that there may be times when your child needs to miss school due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances. In such cases, please ensure that you communicate with the school, so we can support your child's continued learning and help them catch up on missed work.
Our school is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where your child can learn and grow. As partners in this educational journey, we ask for your support in prioritizing regular attendance. Let's work together to make this school year a success for every student.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a year filled with learning, discovery, and achievement.
Warmest regards,
Mrs. Molly Wallschlaeger, Elementary Principal
