September Newsletter

At Baggs Elementary, we believe every school day is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, build friendships, and bring positive energy to our Bobcat family. Just like on the Energy Bus, every rider matters—and our school is stronger when everyone is on board, ready to learn.

Our goal is for students to attend school at least 95% of the time. Regular, on-time attendance helps children build strong routines, keep up with new learning, participate in classroom conversations, and feel connected to their classmates and teachers. Even one missed day can mean missing an important lesson, practice time, group work, or a special classroom experience.

We also ask families to be thoughtful about early checkouts whenever possible. Learning happens all day long—not just in the morning. Afternoon lessons may include reading groups, math instruction, intervention time, hands-on activities, and opportunities for students to apply what they have learned. When students leave early, they miss valuable instruction and can have a harder time feeling caught up the next day.

We understand that illnesses, appointments, and family needs happen. If your child must be absent, please call the office that morning. When your child is absent, you will hear from us—not because anyone is in trouble, but because we care. We miss our Bobcats when they are gone, want to make sure they are okay, and want to partner with families if there are barriers affecting attendance.

Thank you for helping us keep every Bobcat on the bus—present, engaged, and moving forward together!

Hi Families,

Just a quick reminder to help our mornings and afternoons run smoothly:

Drop-off begins at 7:50 am. To ensure proper supervision, please do not drop students off before this time.

Thank you for helping keep our students safe and our arrival/dismissal times running on schedule!
