Dear Ripona Families,
What a great week at Ripona! It was wonderful to see our Mustangs learning, growing, and showing their school spirit. Please see below for important updates, upcoming events, and celebrations from this week.
📚 Attendance Matters!
- Our Mustangs are rocking it! It was so much fun to see our colorful students participate in our first-ever Attendance Spirit Week.
- Our average attendance for this week was 97.43%, and since the start of the school year, our attendance average is 97.48%!
- Let’s keep working toward our goal of Every Student, Every Day!
- If your student is not feeling well in the morning but feels better later in the day, please encourage them to still come to school. Students who arrive later in the day can still be counted present and will have the opportunity to participate in learning rather than missing an entire day of instruction.
📸 Picture Day – Tuesday, 9/1!
- Picture Day is this Tuesday! Smile big, Mustangs! 😄📸
