Memorial Middle School is
starting a new program called “Attendance Wars.” The faculty, staff, and administration would
like to reward first period classes with the best or most improved
attendance. First period classes at all
grade levels will compete against each other to win games of dodgeball or
other gym time, free cookies, cafeteria privileges, and other rewards. For a first period class to win, all students
need to do is be at school every day and be on time. We will award the classes with the best overall
attendance and the most improved attendance every two weeks. We will also update students on class progress each
Friday in the afternoon announcements.
Attendance is very important. Students need to learn that good attendance is a skill that is necessary now for school and in the future for work. Every time a student is absent or tardy, a classroom interruption occurs to all students in that class. Memorial has experienced an increase in the number of students absent from or tardy to school this year. Please support your child and the school by encouraging excellent attendance!!
