LETTER DAY (Week of Nov. 27-Dec. 1):The schedule of elementary letter days is posted weekly in the Live Feed on the school system's home page and on all elementary school home pages, including Pittsville Elementary & Middle. (Use of the letter day in middle schools varies by school; please check with the school for details.)

Congratulations to last week's Attendance Tigers! These classes achieved the highest attendance rates per grade level, and we applaud their dedication. Well done! We'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for your child's education. Even being just 5 minutes late every day results in missing 3.4 days of instruction. If lateness extends to 15 minutes daily, it amounts to missing 10.3 days, and a 30-minute delay daily leads to a staggering 20.7 days of missed instruction. To put it in perspective, if your child misses 2 school days a month, they miss 20 days a year, translating to a loss of 30 hours of math instruction and 60 hours of reading and writing instruction. Every absence and tardiness adds up, affecting your child's learning. We emphasize this because your child's education is invaluable. Our Tiger Cubs deserve the best, and that begins with consistent attendance. Your efforts to ensure they attend school on time are deeply appreciated. Together, let's provide them with the outstanding education they deserve. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students' success.

Have you had a chance to nominate a great teacher for Wicomico Teacher of the Year? This would be an excellent time to show that teacher just how much their dedication is noticed and appreciated. Nominations will be taken through Friday, Dec. 1. QR codes to the nomination form in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole are on the promo posted here.
