🌼April’s Be Here Alamo theme is Be Here & Bloom, reminding us that students grow a little more each day they are present, engaged, and ready to learn.

With state assessments taking place this month, consistent attendance helps students feel confident, prepared, and supported. Just as important as being present is being on time. Arriving late can cause students to miss important instructions and disrupt the start of their day.

Campuses open early each morning and offer free breakfast to all students. 🥞 Arriving early can help families avoid drop-off traffic, allow students to enjoy breakfast with their peers, and help them start the day in a calm, positive way. A Be Here & Bloom On-time Student Tracking Chart is available for families to download, and teachers have a classroom version available.
🌷Download the tracking chart: https://aptg.co/lMpXDG

Mrs. Landry shares, "We had state representative John Block come and share about being a politician. And the students analyzed how he presented himself and took notes for their own living wax museum presentations!"

We can’t wait to see their Living Wax Museum presentations come to life! 🎭✨
