Please see the information attached about the importance of school attendance. September is National School Attendance Month.
Too often, we think of reducing absences as the job of parents or school clerks in the front office. But communities across the country have started helping schools address chronic absence by building public awareness and leveraging resources. http://bit.ly/1oqfID7
Improving attendance is not rocket science, but it does take commitment, collaboration and tailored approaches to the particular strengths and challenges of each school or community. Let’s do it! http://bit.ly/1oqfID7
Good luck to the Cross Country team as they race in Tescott today.

Tonight at 7:00 pm, USD 223 is going to test our emergency contact system. This will go out over text, phone call and a push notification through our USD 223 app. If you have not downloaded the USD 223 app, please do so at this time. In the future, we will be using this system as a way of communicating with students, parents and the community. If you need help downloading the app, please contact Ms. Root for instructions and information.
If you do not receive any notification after the testing time, please contact Ms. Root at the Linn School office.
