From Ms. Stokes:

Parents, we know that attending school every day leads to a promising future in higher education or a career choice for each child. We need your help in making sure that your child(ren) attend school regularly. As you know, when they miss 10% or more of the school year, they begin to suffer academically. 10% is only 18 days per school year, or 2 to 3 days per month. So, let us work together as a community to get all of our students to school -- on time, every day, and stay all day! Be here to get there! We thank you so much for all of your support.
