๐ **Exciting New Attendance Incentives at MES!** ๐
This year at Man Elementary School, we are making attendance a priority, and we need your help! Each month, weโll be recognizing students who achieve perfect attendance. ๐
But thatโs not all! Classrooms will also have the chance to celebrate after they spell out the word "ATTENDANCE." For every day of perfect attendance, they earn a letter! ๐
Last year, our Pioneers had over 4,000 absences. This year, letโs work together to make a difference and reduce that number. Every day counts! ๐ Letโs encourage our students to be here and be present!

๐ข **Attention Man Elementary Families!**
Today, your child should have brought home an important flyer about our brand-new Attendance Reward and Recognition Program! ๐
Last year our Pioneers missed over a combined 4,000 absences. One of our goals this year is to reduce the number of students who are chronically absent. At Man Elementary, we know that consistent attendance is key to academic success. When students are here, they have the best opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their full potential.
Our new program is designed to celebrate and reward students who make it a priority to be here every day, ready to learn. From special recognition to exciting rewards, we're committed to making sure every student feels valued for their efforts. We have also included whole classroom recognitions after a class has 10 days of perfect attendance. We hope our families will help us achieve our goal of improving our school-wide attendance.
Let's work together to ensure our students have the best year yet by making attendance a top priority! We are off to a great start!
Thank you for your continued support! ๐

Logan County Schools will be conducting a district-wide โActive Threat Drillโ at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 3rd. The purpose of this drill is to ensure our school community and first responders are better prepared in the event of a real threat. Please have a conversation with your child that this is simply a drill and there is no reason to be frightened; however, they should take the drill very seriously. We want to thank Logan County Schools and our first responders for making school safety the top priority. Please visit our school Facebook page or our school webpage for more information regarding this matter. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
