Attendance Incentive at Williamstown Elementary
Dear Williamstown Elementary Families and Staff,
We are excited to announce a new Attendance Incentive Program designed to encourage consistent attendance and celebrate our students’ commitment to learning!
Here’s how it works:
Each day that a classroom has 3 or fewer students absent, the class earns a Gold Star. Some classes are getting close.
Once a class collects 10 Gold Stars, they will get to spin the prize wheel for a fun classroom reward!
Our current overall school attendance rate is 95.037%, and our goal is to stay above 90%. Everyday counts, and together we can make a big difference!
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students are present, engaged, and ready to learn.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Let’s make everyday matter!
