Here are some stats and facts for the week:
Mrs. Riley's homeroom ended this week with the exact same overall attendance percentage as last week: 95.17%. Great work!

Great job to the class with the most improved attendance this week: Silvers' Sea Turtles! Their attendance improved by 12% from last week. Congratulations to Mrs. Silvers' class!
The classroom with the best attendance percentage for the week was Vaughn's Vampires! Nice work! Knick's Knick Knacks were right behind them: they had the second-highest percentage, and only 0.2% separated them from the two rooms ahead.
Some fun stats for the week:
We had 8 classrooms start out the week at 100%, but by Tuesday, everyone lost the chance for their perfect week, except 1: Whaley's Whales. Mrs. Whaley's class nearly had a perfect week: there were only 2 absences for the entire week in her room!
On Tuesday, H's Hurricanes and Nix's Nice Ninjas had just about 1% separating them. That increased to a 2.5% difference by Thursday.
On Thursday, Clifford's Cubs and Grant's Great Group were separated by just under 1.5%. This was a nail-biter!
5 classrooms had overall attendance percentages below 90% for the week. That's a lower number than last week, but let's see if each and every classroom can make that goal next week!
11 classrooms had an overall attendance percentage of 95% or higher for the week. This is almost double the number of classrooms that hit that percentage the week before break. Let's see if we have more next week!
Looking forward to some fun matchups next week! Thank you for encouraging your students to be here every day!
