📅 Attendance Awareness Month – Thank You!
Thank you for helping us kick off Attendance Awareness Month with an amazing Spirit Week!
We loved seeing everyone show up each day with energy, creativity, and school pride.
🌟 Huge shoutout to all the students and staff who went all out with their spirit wear and made each day so fun!
📸 Stay tuned for highlights and photos from the week!
🎉 Coming in October:
We’ll be celebrating students with perfect attendance in September with a special treat and a chance to win a fun prize! Keep showing up—you don’t want to miss out!
Reminders & Expectations
We need your help reinforcing a few important expectations to support a safe and respectful learning environment:
• Student ID Badges: Students must wear their ID every day. If a student has lost their ID or hasn’t received one due to being new, they should visit Student Services for assistance.
• Electronics Policy: All cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off and put away during the school day—no exceptions.
• Conflict Resolution: If students need help resolving a conflict, they should seek support from a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Horseplay, physical altercations, or verbal conflicts are not acceptable.
• Dress Code:
o No rips or tears above the knee
o Shorts must be at or below the knee
Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a positive and productive school culture!

Let’s keep the momentum going. Every day in school matters, and showing up consistently helps us grow, learn, and succeed together.
With Flyer Pride,
Scott Wilson
Principal, Kitty Hawk JSTEM
