hard in all subject areas. He has

very good getting along skills and

I.N.O.K.T.B.A:

Student attendance this year has

been disappointing with many

students having excessive

absences.

In all, only 4 students—Isabella

Dean, Jensen White, Ashton

Douglass and Harrison Tatchell

attended school every day in

2016.

94 students were absent for 8

days or less. Grade 4/5D had the

best attendance for 2016.

Those students with excellent

attendance will be invited to

participate in the I.N.O.K.T.B.A.

Aquacoaster excursion next week.

Have a fantastic week!
