Week of November 9–13, 2026
Dear Aviator Families,
As we head into November and December, I want to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance. We will begin our Middle-of-Year (MOY) assessments at the end of November and continue testing into December. These assessments help us celebrate the progress students have made since the beginning of the year and identify areas where they may need additional support.
Every day of instruction leading up to these assessments matters! Our teachers are working hard to help students strengthen their skills, and being at school each day gives students the best opportunity to learn, practice, and grow. Please help us by making attendance a priority during these important weeks.
Together, we RISE.
Dr. Patricia Blanton
Principal, Amelia Earhart Elementary

Attendance Focus
Did you know that a student who misses just one day every two weeks can miss the equivalent of an entire year of school by graduation?
Every school day matters! Consistent attendance helps students stay on track academically, build strong learning habits, and make the most of every opportunity to grow.

We would love to see more of our Aviators take advantage of this opportunity!
